~"not interested" for every ad ~blocking people that exist only to be hot and offer nothing else of value ~scrolling on past 30+ year olds that are responding to videos about their skin like they haven't obviously gotten at least botox ~refusing to buy in to the idea that I'm not supposed to look like I've grown and birthed two children and have had interrupted sleep for the past four years It's okay to want to look hot and feel good in your body. It's easier to do that when you're not comparing yourself to an image on the internet. Filters are sneaky af. Nothing and no one is perfect. Your beauty is in your movement that cannot always be captured by a still frame. Remember that.

YES! THIS! we need radical acceptance of aging naturally, happily and healthily. no capitalistic creation of a need to look a standard way- plastic and uninteresting.

chaoticexistence Completely agree!!! No one should dictate how you feel about your body, it's YOURS.

I agree with the last part especially. I just realised that when I delete instagram I feel so pretty!

Beauty just like everything out there in the world is subjective. I wouldn’t call it that you are refusing to “glow up” but you are glowing up in your own terms Which should be embraced ! Personally i think there is a thin line between working on yourself to be happy in your own skin as a form of self respect and self appreciation and working on yourself to look like everyone else on social media - like the beauty trends, the BBL, the fillers, no fat cheeks etc.. - which is sad honestly. Superficial people will always tend to be attracted towards “aesthetically looking“ people, i don’t even bother with them anymore, mostly they are boring and only befriend people as a show off thing lol. As long as we are working on ourselves in a healthy way it’s good, at the end of the day, we should remember that we are different individuals and my glow up is not someone else’s.

yes!!!! I hate “looksmaxxing” trends online, i don’t give a shit how pretty you are if you have nothing to offer the world but your looks and the cattiness and cruelty in your heart

growing up uncomfortable i had always projected and said that taking selfies was cringe or vain, and i know this sounds simple, but as i’ve grown to truly love myself and stop giving a shit about image, i’ve really enjoyed documenting what i look like throughout different stages in my life. ”photoshoots” after gardening sessions have also really helped me separate the idea of vanity vs. appreciation- i recommend it

one might say “i’m not photogenic“ but why not make that “my beauty cannot be captured on camera”
