Beauty is not skin-deep; it can be a means of self-affirmation, a true indicator of personality and confidence.
Aimee MullinsI have learned not to overlook the advantages of being me. From when I was a softball player, and I held the stolen bases record. I would slide into second with my prostheses, and the girl on the base could either step aside or meet two wooden sticks.
Aimee MullinsThereโs an important difference and distinction between the objective medical fact of my being an amputee and the subjective societal opinion of whether or not Iโm disabled. Truthfully, the only real and consistent disability Iโve had to confront is the world ever thinking that I could be described by those definitions.
Aimee MullinsThe best beauty secret, besides sleep and plenty of water, is do whatever it is - before you go out, before you need to feel beautiful - do whatever makes you feel confident. If itโs putting on a great dance record and rocking out in your apartment, do it. If kissing someone for 10 minutes makes you feel confident, do it.
