That last bit of defense before fully realizing your inner beauty 💜

    "Everybody wishes their body had completely different (smaller) proportions, that’s completely normal.

    Everybody is uncomfortable with body hair, it’s just super normalized to not say/do anything about it.

    It’s completely normal to not relate all that well with other dudes.

    It’s completely normal to react to other dudes being jealous of [insert masculine feature] (giggity) with a halfhearted chuckle, then divert the conversation."

      Core memory unlocked:

      That time period where I would take tweezers and rip out every last hair around my nipples while going through puberty. For like 2 years. Before I gave up and accepted yeti-ism.

        Oof, I did that, didn’t want to shave because was worried it would be itchy and painful but couldn’t stand the damn hairs on my aerola. So I plucked those.

        Recently found out about Lpi and am now working on completely ridding myself of almost all hair from my neck down.
