We discovered that we both strongly support civil rights as our families were subjected to governments that forced them to be silenced. Also, I shared with her my perspective towards standards of beauty, a passionate issue for me. The red birthmark that covers my left arm attracts not only attention from others, but also hatred from those that adhere to pop culture beauty standards. I shared with her my experience with a dermatologist that wanted to remove it with lasers, and she asked why I did not. My answer was that I love my flaws and that my self-confidence is what makes me who I am, disregarding what others may think. My example provided her with a lesson to never listen to others if she is content with her
