queen of peace

Every thing you were worried about lowkey worked out. You made friends, real friends, best friends, amazing friends. You’ve excelled in every single career endeavor - the work is long and hard but you made it through the door - that was never the issue. People think you’re eloquent and wise yet funny with great taste. Your skin is clear and soft. You learned how to take care of yourself and live alone and face the world independently.

But at 27 you still feel inadequate. Because the truth is every time you got “the thing” you thought you lacked, you found something new. Now it’s really your body, your weight, not your face and blemishes. Instead of friendship, it’s romantic love that seems completely out of reach. You got the job but now it’s the self doubt of being enough to do it, being able to handle it.
