Something someone told you about yourself that you'll never forget.

It was my freshman year of college. I was sitting on the floor of my apartment. My good friend Travis was over. I was in sweat pants, and I was pretty sure I looked awful. Then out of the blue Travis said that I looked cute and I'm sure I argued that I didn't. And then he said what I'll never forget...

"When you think you look cute, you don't."   

(He continued something like this...) When you don't think you look cute that's when you are the cutest. 

It made absolutely no sense to me. How was I supposed to know when I was actually looking cute? If I thought I looked ugly I was actually cute-- or if I thought I looked cute I didn't look it to others?

I think that's when I stopped caring. I didn't care a whole lot before, but after that comment...I just was who I was. 

Years later I still find this to be true (even if it still doesn't make sense to me)...when I'm not trying, that's when I look the best.
