Well --
Hopefully not as awkward as that picture.
Image is powerful, but also, image is superficial.
I just totally transformed what you thought of me, in six seconds.
And in this picture, I had actually never had a boyfriend in real life.
I was totally uncomfortable, and the photographer was telling me to arch my back and put my hand in that guy's hair.
And of course, barring surgery, or the fake tan that I got two days ago for work,
there's very little that we can do to transform how we look,
and how we look, though it is superficial and immutable, has a huge impact on our lives.
So today, for me, being fearless means being honest.
