excerpt from email:
I try to live as loudly as possible and encourage others to do so. Is it easier if you are traditionally attractive? Well, duh!
But attractiveness is a trap. It doesn't bring peace. Or love. Or joy.
You seem to think that physical appearance is the holy grail. And that if you are attractive, you have no right to feel pain, insecurity, or depression?
As if their exterior is the only element of a person that could cause insecurity? As if our culture isn�t full of beautiful young women vomiting themselves to death. It doesn't matter where you are, it matters what you see.
I'd love to consider you a friend...and not cause you pain.
I'd love to see you as an partner is helping heal the world. Not your enemy.
Good luck.
Love,
-John
