I Just Want To Be

To Me, The Tragedy About This Whole Image-obsessed Society Is That Young Girls Get So Caught Up In Just Achieving That They Forget To Realize That They Have So Much More To Offer The World.

I Realized How Latina I Was, And Then Also, At The Same Time, How Not Latina Enough I Was, Because I’m Born And Raised In Los Angeles. I Speak Spanish, But I Don’t Speak Perfect Spanish, Not Like A Native Speaker

Having The Perfect Body Doesn't Fix All Your Problems, Or Make You Love Yourself More. To Me, It's All About Being Comfortable In Your Own Skin.

It Would Be Impossible To Be A Woman In Western Culture And Not Have Your Own Issues About Your Image And What You Look Like.

What's So Kind Of Beautiful About The Whole Thing Was That Everything That Made Me Not Right For All Of Those Hundreds Of Commercial Auditions That I Went On And No One Ever Wanted Me For Is What Made Me Perfectly Right For 'real Women Have Curves'.
