I don't feel pretty.
November 13, 2021
I don’t feel pretty.
I used to, but it now feels like my confidence got crushed by a ton
Crazy that someone’s words can stick to you like glue
One comment can change how you see yourself for years to oblivion
Maybe I’ll feel pretty someday
My confidence will slowly construct and be put back together
Like a puzzle that has been sitting on your coffee table for the past few months and everyday you put a new piece one after each other
On that special day when all the pieces align
I can feel good about myself
I would trade anything to just feel fine
