I've been different things in different contexts, and I didn't really feel beautiful until I had my first child.

There's no way I was beautiful growing up.

I'm a real girl. I get it. I gain weight, I lose weight. My styles change.

I don't think anyone else is wrong for trying to fight it, however.
