honestly most ‘glow up’ posts i’ve seen are literally just about losing weight, changing your hairstyles adding tons of makeup on your face, wearing expensive clothing and like its not puberty doing u a favor its capitalism making everyone look the fucking same
and two years ago i did that i wore dress, painted my nails and wore makeup and i felt blissful because for the first time in my life i was actually loved i was popular and then i became a gossip topic and in the end i felt trapped i was trapped in this ‘cool girl’ imagine i’d built for myself so i stopped i started to be kinder to myself and learned how to stop hating myself so much i realized that like the best glow up is literally just about finally feeling comfortable in your own skin and i know this may sound cheesy and fake deep but like this realization has changed my life because i can finally breathe again i can finally stop living for other people and start caring about myself honestly cleansing so like as long as you’re kind to yourself, you’re glowing up
