Every Girl Deserves An Apartment With Floor To Ceiling Windows, Gauzy Curtains And Warm Sunshine Pouring

every girl deserves an apartment with floor to ceiling windows, gauzy curtains and warm sunshine pouring in

Suddenly I remember that love is real, and tomato soup is real, and my friends laughing is real, and my old dog is real and I I’m real, and all of this is enough for me

If you have nothing - Find Something

I’ve struggled a lot with self confidence and feeling pretty especially after gaining weight. Although I’m still looking to lose it and self confidence is a ongoing journey, I have started to tell myself that I am in fact not ugly, I just haven’t been giving myself the care I deserve

I was so convinced that my weight determined my beauty, that I stopped taking care of myself. Now I think that is precisely why I haven’t been able to lose it…In a state of feeling so undeserving of nice things of course I wasn’t eating healthy, moving my body, dressing nice, or doing my hair.

These day’s health is on the forefront my mind, so although the I haven’t completely accepted the number on the scale or what I see in the mirror, I no longer feel that I can’t present myself in a nice manner. 🫂

The Little Things Add Up

After years of creating “bad” habits I know I can’t just break them overnight. And although health is on the forefront of my mind, I still would like to walk outside and not wish myself invisible.

Creating healthy habits and building self confidence will be a journey of baby steps. So, when I felt I had nothing that makes me pretty, I found something.

The truth is, everyone has something nice about them. Many things nice about them! It’s just very easy to forget when all our thoughts are self deprecating.

As I filed and glossed my nails I wondered how I could forget that I have such beautiful long and natural nails. Although they have been longer because and times of neglect left them uneven and chipped, I was still able to bring out their beauty. This is a small thing that many people won’t notice, and as a introvert I’m completely okay with that. What matters is when I look down at them, it makes me feel good. 🫂

I am familiar but new to tumblr and looking for likeminded people who love self care, the arts and cozy things. If that sounds like you, plz comment so I can follow you! 💌

Tumblr.. It’s Been Some Time

To my teenage self, I have to thank you. In your pursuit of community and understanding, you found yourself on the blogs of tumblr. Although back then with your sad teenage mind you used this platform mostly to fule the wounded parts of yourself. We are different person now, and this time what I seek is meaning and purpose in the time I spend online. A digital space that leaves me feeling fulfilled and inspired. So, as I found myself deleting all the other apps that promote mindless engagement and doom scrolling through 60 second videos (or less), I had a memory that landed me on tumblr’s doorstep.

Like a old friend, yes you have grown and changed, but you are still you, and I’m so glad. You are unique (and no platform has better profile customization) you are versatile. You cater to the artist, the poets, the authors… To put it simply I’m glad I discovered you back then because I wouldn’t of known now that you were exactly what I was looking for. 🫂

Also I originally joined tumblr as a teen to find FTM community. Although I de-transitioned I have so much love for who I was and will be forever grateful to this platform for giving me a place to feel like I belonged. 💌

When you feel secure in your body and trust yourself to stick to your values and boundaries, it sets you up for success & makes life more meaningful.

This sense of safety isn’t something you can just force yourself to feel; it’s something you develop through practice & mindfulness.

This type of confidence naturally attracts healthy relationships and opportunities that align with what you truly care about; without worrying about being judged or rejected.
