~"not interested" for every ad
~blocking people that exist only to be hot and offer nothing else of value
~scrolling on past 30+ year olds that are responding to videos about their skin like they haven't obviously gotten at least botox
~refusing to buy in to the idea that I'm not supposed to look like I've grown and birthed two children and have had interrupted sleep for the past four years
It's okay to want to look hot and feel good in your body. It's easier to do that when you're not comparing yourself to an image on the internet. Filters are sneaky af. Nothing and no one is perfect. Your beauty is in your movement that cannot always be captured by a still frame. Remember that.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula in newsletter format, each journal entry is sent to your inbox on the same dates Jonathan Harker wrote them. I’ve only learned about it half way through the whole thing last year so I’m trying again and it’s been super fun to read the book like that. They started on May 3rd so there’s still time to catch up!

Look, first and foremost, it’s normal to want to look cool. We all want to fit in, be accepted, be validated and feel like we belong, it’s a natural human thing.
But the only way out is through. You have to accept and love yourself. You have to embrace your cringe, and your wonders, and your quirks. You have to learn to be proud of them. You have to validate yourself and understand that by choosing to be you, you will lose some things. Maybe some friends, maybe some validation. But you will get so much more. There’s nothing cooler than someone who is unafraid of being who they are. That’s the key, I guess. And it’s freaking hard, so it’s a process. Just start with the basics. Dress how you want to dress, look how you want to look, and experiment with it, see how you feel, face the rejection with open arms. Be cringe, but be authentic.
