Strangely though, there was something sad about this line: “John had never worn an outfit that made him feel fuckable before.” Made me pause and sigh for all the people who never really have felt that. Everyone should have an outfit that makes them feel fuckable!

From a comment on my fic, “Dress Sense” by untldeathtakeme.  (The thread is here.)

That just struck me as such an amazing thought.  It really is a transformative experience, to see yourself as beautiful for the first time.  I hope you all get that moment, if you haven’t had it yet.  Because you are.  You are beautiful.  You just need to learn how to look.
