A cool part of the internet is being able to tell my friend "see you later" instead of a complete goodbye when they leave IRL.

It's mostly hard work I'd argue.
Between skincare, hair, fitness routine and more...there's a lot you can just influence.

I fucking hate the taste of eggs, high protein diet KILL ME.

Doing a run into HIIT is just so satisfying, truly feels like a huge effort and it is quite gratifying.
Also might just be the secret to serving body tea...at least it's mine.

Fun part of being attracted to the same gender as your own is the ability to look in the mirror and think about how you're absolutely hot.

There's only one man in this world I feel safe around.

Put on a pedestal but powerless, symbolic but never personified.
Simply objectified.

It's hard because you're constantly reminded by people's looks, their words and their behaviour around you.
It always feels like a perverted effort to try and touch me, have me in their bed for their own pleasure but that's it.
A pretty body only exists to be enjoyed selfishly, not as a person.

I can't force the world around me to be neutral about it, I can't magically make people respectful and suddenly stop being flirted with constantly or stopped in the street but it all feels profoundly objectifying in the end.
To live with what the appearance of women is valued as is hard.

Each time I see another woman is it normal to compare myself ?
Is it normal to be so competitive about my appearance ?
It feels good to be beautiful but beauty matters in such perverse ways nowadays, a part of me can't help but think about how most people view my beauty.

I dress well because I need to seduce myself or at least that's what I think.
So much of my value I attribute to how presentable I am, how beautiful and desirable I am. However is it truly myself I seduce or a parasite planted in my brain by the standards women are expected to follow ?

In the eyes of most people I'm just a pretty face, a sexy voice, a desirable person just like a trophy to claim.
I try so hard because I want to satisfy my own eyes, I don't want to look in the mirror and hate what I see.
I want to like my curves, my face and my hair.

Sometimes I wonder about why I give so much importance to my appearance, do I only care about it this much because I have internalised misogyny or is it a real desire of mine ?
Is it about my value as a person or as a woman ?
Is my value as a person even something to consider as a woman ?
