It has been a while. Missed you dearly xo. Tell me what has transpired in the time passed between us? I’ll fill you in on me: my skin has cleared up greatly since the last pic posted. I do have some bacne scarring, but I’m confident that with time and exfoliation, I’ll be able to clear up 90% of it. We’ll see tho. Eczema prone skin has joker brain, fr.

I have been extremely 🌌depressed🌌 these past months. I still can’t tell when I’m slipping into depression, but I can certainly tell when I’m in too deep. Today I woke up at 2pm, spent too much money, and now I’m on my way back to bed. I did, however, take a shower. I’ve also been flossing my teeth. I cried 3 times yesterday, the last time going well into the night. I think I’m in love.

I started a new book by James Baldwin called Tell Me How Long The Train’s Been Gone. This book is responsible for some of my tears. Do you ever feel inadequate?

My diet lately has been pretty good! I’ve been drinking a lot of smoothies (made at home) and I’ve been putting aloe Vera water and rose water and other positive things into them. The skin on my face is very clear. Something I’ve noted is that my flare ups tend to migrate around my body. Like, certain years flare ups will be mostly on my legs, other years my arms, this year my neck, last year my chest. Do you guys experience that too, or do you always flare up in the same spot? The flare ups on my neck are really challenging for me (mental health and physical) because they are hard to hide, and the skin on my neck is delicate so if I scratch it it’s more likely to break. Estoy triste:-(

I want to try going raw one week out of the month. The last time I did this, I failed first day lmao. I’m going to start next month. Also, I’m doing no fast food next month.

Skin update: here are some photos of my skin (taken today). My skin was doing amazing for a while there, but something triggered a reaction in my nervous system which has resulted in the discoloration you see. I’m beginning to realize that my nervous system will be triggered by practically nothing, and that although I should take precautionary measures such as a good diet and not showering with hot water, I also need to accept that outbreaks are somewhat inevitable. My approach now is to find something that will soothe my skin while it heals from a flare up, and find things that will speed up the healing process. I’ll keep you posted! Xoxo gossip gworl
