I Struggle With My Body Image

Huge hair.
Big nose.
Huge calves.

Just not pretty. At all.

Even mom keep reminding me that. Because she was a petite pretty woman back then that she seemed to compare her look with mine. That even when someone said I’m pretty, she just kept saying that that’s bs.

Heard all that growing up, I ended up believing it.

I don’t know when it happened. But. Now I can accept how I look. When someone flaunt my flaws now, I just gonna leave that person in silent... 😌

Lol. When I was a kid and I wanted to go run errons with my mom and she'd say no you can't go and when I said, "why not?" She'd say, "because your nose is crooked and your ears are to big."

I always thought that was just some kind of funny saying like it's been a while crocodile but years later I came to realize that mom only said that to me and my nose is crooked and my ears are too big.🥺

Lol. Nobody can lower self-esteem quite like family.

nothingnessssssssssssss

@Lostpoet Sad right... 😢 But well, only ourselves can accept our lookalike. We’re the one living with it. Make the worth of it! 🤗
