¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i need to take a moment to appreciate my little glow up ✨

the photos on the left are from 2014, photos on the right are me now. 6 years ago i was basically clawing my way out of a severe depression, i was hardly eating, i had just started my recovery from self harm… the girl you see in those photos was slowly approaching one of the first major “turning points” in my journey of self love and learning to be okay with who i am and the way i look. when i tell you i absolutely despised what i saw in the mirror, it broke my heart… even though i looked “fine” i felt deformed, repulsive, not worth a god damn thing, not just because of my appearance but the way i felt inside too. i felt this way for what felt like the majority of my life. i was 20 years old and was so tired of hating myself.
