“there’s so much I haven’t told her lately, about how quickly my soul is aging, how it feels like a basement I keep filling with everything I’m tired of surviving.”

also y'all need to fall in love with your bare faces. don’t “tolerate” or “deal with” the way your face looks without any makeup on, actively embrace and love your natural features. spend some time naked in the mirror and memorize your body. smile at yourself. laugh with yourself. enjoy the way your hair looks unstyled, the way your body looks unshaved. fall in love with the way your body looks when you’re not trying to change everything about it.
