The pretty wrappers, well, they peel off and sometimes what's underneath doesn't always count for much if they are relying on the wrapper to get them places in life. It's always what is inside that counts the most.
I laughed a little at this. It reminded me of the movie where Donkey says, "oh, people are like onions". In some ways, they are. We constantly shed "peels" (or put another way, we transition). But what's underneath is who we really are. Our core selves. Let that light shine through, reaching. Always. Some will adore you, others may dislike you and be jealous, but they will all remember you and in the end, it won't matter because you are the beautiful you, that you are.
