When I was younger and very overweight, people used to tell me all the time what a handsome face I had. It’s all well and good, but after a while it starts to sound like, “If only it weren’t attached to that disgusting body.”

I guess what I’m saying is that being “The ______ One” is usually a label you’re forever trying to shed, anyway–especially as you’re starting to figure out who the hell you really are. Everyone (even assholes) is so much more than can be summed up in a simple phrase…but we tend to still categorize them that way.

But I do know what you’re saying. A nice and interesting person who’s funny-looking gets less funny-looking every time you see them. Attraction doesn’t come from beauty, it creates it.

Although, yeah, it helps if you’re also super cute.
