Without anything in common with this incredible young woman except for one thing---Someone just asked me about how I had so much confidence and self esteem and I said 'you how people say they don't give a shit, but they really do? I really don't. I mean seriously (you can never really convey that sentiment-- no one believes you) I said "being a feminist helps-- a lot" and I have had to work hard on social filters.
