the older you get, the more you understand natasha. seeing another woman in the arms of the man she loves on a bachelor trip would make any girl feel angry
Every time I travel out of country, I realize how much lighter I feel when I’m away from the societal expectations of how I’m supposed to exist as a woman. I’m still the same person, just less tense. And it’s not just because I’m on vacation. I’m sure other women can relate.
Literally everyone deserves to go out for dinner, buy coffees, wear quality clothing and have fun experiences whilst also being able to afford rent, groceries, bills & have a little left over for savings no matter what job they do. Why is that so absurd to some people?
It really is all just smoke and mirrors. We are all capable of looking “hot” and “beautiful”…it’s just expensive. It is truly very easy to look drop dead gorgeous when you have the money. So, for the love of God pls stop making yourself miserable by comparing yourself to celebs!
Comparison is truly the thief of joy but also the thief of self-confidence. Beauty is an ever-changing, endlessly competitive, absurdly costly commodity that is easily achievable if you have the right salary and net worth.
I have this deeply frustrating habit where the harder things get for me, the more quiet I become. I don’t vent, I don’t look for comfort, and I don’t let anyone see the cracks. Instead, I just quietly pull back from the world, stop answering messages, and retreat into my own head because my brain has convinced me that being entirely unseen is the only true way to be safe. It is an incredibly lonely way to survive, actively building walls against the people who care about me, while secretly wishing someone had the manual to read through my silence
