Taylor Lautner-Dome and Looking in the Mirror
Brightness is about which side of a situation you're able to see. Taylor Lautner-Dome had been stuck seeing only one side — that her body was unrecognizable, that she was failing some internal standard. The shift came when Taylor Lautner reframed the same moment with different language: not "big," just "pregnant." That single word adjustment moved the slider, and Taylor Lautner-Dome recognized that she had been choosing the darker read of herself without realizing it.
