Summary
The narrator reflects on her upbringing and how her friend's frequent use of the word "beautiful" makes her uncomfortable due to her struggles with her appearance. Despite societal pressures and her parents' narrow views on beauty, she finds solace and confidence in her own self-image, particularly when practicing yoga.
