since somehow you’re able to reconcile your hypocrisy about being in a role to promote and safeguard your child’s self-esteem with the smothering of your own, PLEASE, the next time you look your child in the eye, tell her

• that her value begins to plummet with each day she ages,
• that the smiles and laughs she enjoys will cause unsightly lines in her face,
• that each time she gazes in the mirror she should perfect the practice finding imperfections,
• that her truth within is second to how she is perceived without,
• that in order to be just as great as the woman she looks up to (you), that she should begin to hate herself as much as you have…

congratulations… i hope your cuts under the knife heal as quickly and smoothly as you planned.
