This is why filters are dangerous.
Wow.
I look like a chubby Christina Ricci and I wish I looked like this in real life. I put this as my profile picture for about 5 minutes, and had to change it because in that five minutes, I already killed much what little love I finally

grew for my face.
Same expression, same angle, same person, different face.
I have never thought I was pretty, despite what my mom tells me. I& #39;ve finally been able to see certain things about me that were cute.
Then I played around with some silly, stupid filters, and let it all

go again.
No, I don& #39;t think someone has to be or feel cute or attractive to have value or anything like that. But I do live in a society that puts weight in looks. And it has it& #39;s effects on people.
So, I changed my picture to one where I actually think I look cute.

Homecoming, freshman year, with my best friend at the time.
No filter, minimal makeup (and no rainbow hair dye!!!), just girls ready for a fun night.

Time to rebuild, I guess.

A great thread that articulates what I couldn& #39;t. https://twitter.com/treasurefbrooks/status/1329855470157312000?s=19">https://twitter.com/treasuref...
