      Figuring this out is genuinely one of the best parts about getting older. Literally nothing bad happens if you stop caring about if other people find you attractive, and it’s so freeing.

      Yes, bitch. With all sincerity, this is the ethos that helped me let go of the lifelong self hatred I’ve had as someone who’s been fat for a lot of my life. Who gives a shit? You can be fat, ugly, and worthy of love and happiness all at the same time

    3. One of the things that has helped my confidence soooo much is accepting that aspects of my appearance just don’t fit the beauty standard. Those things can still be beautiful to myself and others, but they’re still “ugly” by mainstream beauty standards and I don’t have to change them or gaslight myself into thinking they’re actually not that far from the beauty standards.

    4. there is so much pressure to be beautiful these days! statistically most of use are just average to fine looking. kill that ego, babes!

      How the hell did he tell everyone to Get Out but its cool for him to Stay In?

    6. Body positivity was a misdirect imo, what I try to live by + what I think our culture needs is BODY NEUTRALITY.

      How I look is not intrinsic to who I am as a person. It is morally neutral. My body’s just my house, and I try to take reasonably good care of it, but it’s not, like, a personal failing if I gain or lose weight in an unappealing way. Or wear an outfit that makes me look dumpy. Or the “wrong” colors for my skintone. Etc.

      Preventative this, collagen supplement that, maintenance maintenance maintena— shush!!! I’m busy being a person! I am living my one wild and precious life and I simply can’t psychologically afford to give a fuck about my saddlebags!

    7. A related revelation is accepting that you could look a lot hotter but don’t care enough to put in the effort and cost. You have better things to spend your time and money on!

      I saw this video earlier this morning and honestly it’s really nice to hear. As bad as it sounds you don’t *need* to be pretty
