What happens when a girl you first considered unattractive steals a piece of your heart?
There was once a girl who sent me a really bad, at-work selfie with a Harry Potter filter and a touch of RBF, and I almost wrote her off on the spot. I thought she was quite “meh”. Then I saw her smile and heard her voice and watched her work to better herself. Now, she’s one of my favorite people in the world, and that face brightens my day every time I see it.
Meanwhile, there was another little girl around here, once upon a time, to whom I said two things:
- You will fall in love with me.
- I will never find you attractive.
I was right about the first thing. She proved me utterly wrong about the second. And she did it, not by changing herself, but by *being* herself… she loved the hell out of me, showed grace and kindness at every turn, and made my life better. I am her biggest fan to this day.
