i saw this tweet that said that one you decide you are pretty, you just are. and they’re so right. lately, I will be just doing my makeup or just be washing my hands, and I will just see myself in the mirror and be like “woah, I look fucking good.” 

my best friend took pictures of me yesterday and i've never felt so confident .. so sexy & vulnerable and beautiful to that degree before. 

I still notice my stretch marks on my boobs. I still see the weird skin wrinkle near my left armpit. it may be something that I first see, but besides that, I also notice how my eyes are beautifully big and dark brown & emotional, maybe a tad bit sexy hehe. I notice how my neck has a couple moles. I see my collar bones and my thyroid, something that I had always felt insecure about my parents seeing because they’d notice how big it was and realize I wasn’t taking my medicine. 

amongst all of these things, I see how happy I am.
