“My whole body kept shaking, and I found I could not stop crying, even though it did not feel as if I was the one crying: I was watching a movie of someone else lying in a bed, trembling and crying. I felt like a small child. I didn’t feel safe.”
Lucy Grealy, Autobiography of a Face

“What our brains know is one thing, yet what our hearts know is another matter entirely, and when I met this new surgeon in Scotland, I offhandedly explained to my friends back home "why not, it's free, isn't it?" unable to admit that I believed in the fixability of life all over again.”

Potential sources to Annotate
Tumblr media
These sources are all focus on the same main topic of the impact of beauty standards/ideal beauty on physically disabled women, each with different pros and cons to annotate.
The top sources I have already annotated, but was written in 2003 (which was the year I was born) and I'm not sure if it's to out of date and I could find more recent sources. Although since it talks about people's personal experiences, it still has a lot of relevance even though it is contextualised in 2003 beauty standards. The same applies for the last study (also published in 2003). This one I feel is more out of date since it's not looking as much at personal experiences but focuses on quantitative data.
The second source focuses more on physical disability and self-esteem in reference to participation in sport and physical activity. It has some interesting points but is also more focused on quantitative data and sport which is not the most relevant to my topic.
The third and fourth sources are both analysing Lucy Grealy's Autobiography of a Face. They look at her personal experiences with physical disability in relation to beauty standards and how she was perceived and described by those around her. They pull direct quotes from her autobiography and provide a good look into Grealy's experiences with body dissatisfaction and are very relevant to my topic, but I probably do not need to annotate both.

“I now possessed a large number of varied and decidedly wonderful friends, whom I valued immeasurably. Through them I discovered what it was to love people. There was an art to it, I discovered, which was not really all that different from the love that is necessary in the making of art. It requires the effort of always seeing them for themselves and not as I wished them to be, of always striving to see the truth of them.”

“There was a long period of time, almost a year, during which I never looked in a mirror. It wasn't easy, for I'd never suspected just how omnipresent are our own images. I began by merely avoiding mirrors, but by the end of the year I found myself with an acute knowledge of the reflected image, its numerous tricks and wiles, how it can spring up at any moment: a glass tabletop, a well-polished door handle, a darkened window, a pair of sunglasses, a restaurant's otherwise magnificent brass-plated coffee machine sitting innocently by the cash register.
“One evening toward the end of my yearlong separation from the mirror, I was sitting in a cafe talking to someone—an attractive man, as it happened—and we were having a lovely, engaging conversation. For some reason I suddenly wondered what I looked like to him. What was he actually seeing when he saw me? So many times I've asked this of myself, and always the answer is this: a warm, smart woman, yes, but an unattractive one. I sat there in the cafe and asked myself this old question, and startlingly, for the first time in my life, I had no answer readily prepared. I had not looked in a mirror for so long that I quite simply had no clue as to what I looked like. I studied the man as he spoke; my entire life I had seen my ugliness reflected back to me. But now, as reluctant as I was to admit it, the only indication in my companion's behavior was positive.
“And then, that evening in that cafe, I experienced a moment of the freedom I'd been practicing for behind my Halloween mask all those years ago. But whereas as a child I expected my liberation to come as a result of gaining something, a new face, it came to me now as the result of shedding something, of shedding my image. I once thought that truth was eternal, that when you understood something it was with you forever. I know now that this isn't so, that most truths are inherently unretainable, that we have to work hard all our lives to remember the most basic things. Society is no help; it tells us again and again that we can most be ourselves by looking like someone else, leaving our own faces behind to turn into ghosts that will inevitably resent and haunt us. It is no mistake that in movies and literature the dead sometimes know they are dead only after they can no longer see themselves in the mirror; and as I sat there feeling the warmth of the cup against my palm, this small observation seemed like a great revelation to me. I wanted to tell the man I was with about it, but he was involved in his own topic and I did not want to interrupt him, so instead I looked with curiosity toward the window behind him, its night-darkened glass reflecting the whole cafe, to see if I could, now, recognize myself.”
— from Mirrorings, Lucy Grealy

Review | A memoir of life-changing friendship and sudden loss
Comment on this storyComment “I do not remember our love unfolding, that we got to know one another and in time became friends. I only remember that she came through the door and it was there, huge and permanent and first.” These words are from Ann Patchett’s 2004 memoir “Truth and Beauty,” about her impassioned friendship with Lucy Grealy, who died a few years before its publication. The…

I had to stop writing for a short while as I sensed I was about to get terribly boring. Shouldn’t I say something deep or something? I mean, I am supposed to be a poet, aren’t I?
Lucy Grealy, from a letter to Ann Patchett in “Truth & Beauty: A Friendship” (HarperCollins, October 13, 2009)
