You're f'ing Radiant

✨ You’re F*cking Radiant. ✨

Back in my freshman year of college, I did what most of us do—gained the freshman 15 in record time. It was the 80s, the golden era of toxic diet culture, and I decided my punishment would be to live in sweatpants until I lost the weight.

One day in theatre class, a guy I barely knew stopped me and asked, "What’s with the sweatpants all the time?" So, I told him. Without missing a beat, he grabbed my face, locked eyes with me, and said, "You’re fcking radiant."*

From that day forward, every time he saw me, he made sure I heard those words. And you know what? It changed me. It made me see myself differently. It made me realize that we are always our harshest critics—but someone out there sees our light even when we don’t.
