Why do I feel the need to shred this photo and hide it from the world? I do not look or feel particularly beautiful or special in it.
I’ll happily deface a photo I find unappealing of myself with my words.
But I’ll leave and send the ones where I’m put together, cute, and beautiful to my boyfriend, Instagram, or whomever I need external validation from that’s willing to give it.
But if I’m stripped down and bare – I must change it. Make it something new. Make it beautiful again.
At least make it fucking meaningful, if you can’t make it beautiful.
