I read your recent diary entry and loved it. Very scary. Wondering this, how do you feel about beauty standards now? You said there's a difference between beautiful and pretty, and I think it's interesting, but it sounds complicated. I think people need to be some kind of pretty to function in society.

i felt beautiful at midnight in my fluffy pajama shorts and crop top, eating jamaican takeout, and thinking about applying lip gloss. i just lay there and look at my manicure and think about what the shapes i can see in the confetti and what they're trying to tell me. i look over to the dresser and notice i didn't throw out my trash right away, and find beauty in the fact something about that is affecting my coding and contemplating it with no harsh words to myself. Pretty is advertised as some kind of bliss out of reality. Hair is hair. A lash is a lash. that moment was beautiful because the personal development came with ease, there was no absence of glamour. it was just genuine and satisfying
