dirty appearance - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

Upon my skin is earth, that which sustains and brings us everything we love. So call my appearance dirty if you require such cheap ego boosts, all this washes off, and beneath it I'm cleaner than you.

I was dirty every weekend because I ran through the rain and mud, I taught my soul how to battle and reach deep for the reserve beneath the reserve and give it all I had. So that mud, I was proud of that, real proud.

Beneath this mud there is a person who, but for a wash and a comb, is exactly the same as you. A dirty appearance is only a statement of need, a sign of what kind of care is required, a reason to feel real empathy.

It's okay, you can talk to me, the mud will wash off. Think of it as a beauty mask that's been on a tad too long. It's noting a bit of rose soap can't handle.

This dirty appearance is my proof that I ran through the mud rather than kept myself clean at the expense of others. I'm proud of that.
