#self concious

You start seeing energy instead of appearances.

You start valuing peace over attention.

You stop chasing connections that drain your spirit.

And suddenly…

many people who once felt close begin to feel distant.

This isn’t loss.

It’s alignment.

Your soul is simply making space for the people who are meant to walk your path with you.

Mom, am I ugly? I whisper to the glass, my reflection flickers, frightened of what I’ll ask. The world is loud; its cruelty wears no mask, and I’ve learned to brace myself before it cracks.

Mom, am I ugly? I tuck my smile away, hide it like a secret I’m scared to misplace. Everyone speaks in judgments these days, and I’m tired of shrinking to keep them safe.

Mom, am I ugly? I wish I didn’t care, but mirrors feel heavier when I’m aware of every flaw someone taught me to wear, a weight stitched in silence, it's so unfair.

Mom, am I ugly? Or just too soft for this place where beauty is currency and pain is commonplace? Tell me I’m more than the lines on my face, tell me I’m allowed to take up space.

Mom, am I ugly? You sigh, pull me near: “my love, your worth isn’t built on how you appear. The world will try to dim you, year after year, but you glow brightest when you stay sincere.”

So that desire that you're so obsessed with having and want so badly. It's yours. I don't want to hear otherwise. Have a nice day! 🌙

she made a comment abt stretch marks and how people have been covering them up and I mentioned how I have a fuck ton and kinda hate mine and she turned like a cartoon character and told me not to ever cover them cuz they're pretty/hot

and so ig I'm just curious how other people find them cuz I'll probably always be self conscious abt mine

I’ve been getting back into Taylor swift recently, I liked her a lot when I was a preteen but I kind of shamed my self into not listening to her anymore. Idk there’s so much stigma about being a girl and liking Taylor sift even though it’s super common, yk the comments like “oh you like Taylor swift? Ok basic” type things.

I’ve grown up a bit now and stoped caring so much about what people think, but I still feel some shame around it :(.
