00:00If you could send one message to your 16-year-old self.
00:03I would say, don't try so hard to be perfect.
00:11Because you're good enough as you are.
00:15Because I think that, especially when we're in high school,
00:19we want to be good so bad, we want to be liked,
00:22and we want to fit in, but if you're with the right people,
00:26you don't have to try so hard.
00:28You know? So you'll find, just being yourself is enough.
00:32Do you think women still judge by their appearance before their abilities now?
00:38Oh, yeah. I mean, I wish it wasn't that way,
00:41but I think it's human nature to judge people based on how they look,
00:46and in particular, women.
00:47I feel like it's so sad to me of how much expectations there are to look a certain way.
00:54I mean, I even think about, like, how much time women have to put into their appearance,
01:00and, like, what we could do at that time if we didn't have to do it.
01:04I mean, of course, if it makes you feel confident, like, you should do that,
01:09but I do think that there's sometimes an expectation of, like, you have to,
01:13you, like, you can't leave the house without, like, putting makeup on.
01:16I remember that there was a long period of time that I, like, literally couldn't leave the house
01:20without putting makeup on and stuff,
01:22and if it makes you feel confident, I think that it's good,
01:25but I just wish it wasn't, like, the standard, you know what I mean?
01:29And I hope that things change a bit more,
01:31that women feel empowered just to, like,
01:34embrace whatever makes them feel most confident, you know?
