You would not be worth more if you looked different than you do today. You would not be a better person. You would not be smarter or more important. You are already necessary, already vital, already full of contributions to the world, already a voice the rest of us need to hear. And if someone else cannot see that, it is their problem, not yours. You are already dearly beloved by God in the very body you are in today. You are already enough.
