America's Next Top Model is oddly comforting.

I know, right?  You totally weren't expecting that, but hear me out.

THIS:

Courtney DuPerow

She's beautiful...

 ... and tortured.

She's a bully survivor.

I don't think she's ever had a real friend a day in her life.

The other models this cycle... well they've been bullying her too.

Courtney is living proof that being beautiful is not a magic bullet for happiness.  Everyone knows that I don't show my face because I'm ashamed of the fact that I'm so overweight.  I don't feel beautiful on the outside, but you know what?  The beautiful people in that house are relentlessly ugly to her.  They pretend to be her friends until she trusts them.  Then they cut her down behind her back while she cries in the next room.  They KNOW she can hear everything they're saying about her.  They're total dick bags.

She's real.

She's unique.

She's a good person.

If you guys get a chance, reach out to her on Twitter: @babygirl031994

Tell her not to give in.  Tell her not to give up.  Watching her story has helped me realize that my outsides not matching my insides is the least of my worries.  I find it very comforting to know that so-called 'beautiful people' have their challenges and insecurities too.

I think deep down, we're all human.

Right?
