this older man paid for my drink and when i said “oh wow, thank you!” he said “thank you for being pretty.” i was called pretty a few times and people were a bit nicer. it felt nice especially because i wasn’t having the best week.

no this is so real!!! i’m still a big girl but a lot of my weight is now in my lower body. i usually wear baggy clothes & when running errands i don’t care too much about my appearance at all. i usually smile at strangers and some may be nice. it was just a LOT different being all made up instead of my usual “little boy” look lol

honestly, i’ve always felt like i was cosplaying a pretty girl and failing at it miserably. i’ve said to many people i feel like im putting lipstick on a pig. what’s helped me is taking my self care more seriously. i have my times of dressing up but really not too many. i look at people online and things such as makeup that i like on them, i now try on myself. i do little things that make me feel pretty.

whatever body shape you have is cute. seeing what other girls with your shape is wearing is very helpful. i know im insecure of how my body in certain outfits. i found “midsize fashion” and try to play around in the outfits i see on those girls. hair and makeup too. try things that you find pretty and embrace things that make you feel prettier. growing up i even had to stand in mirrors pointing on small things i liked about myself. it honestly helped a lot even if at first i thought it was silly

it’s more i just don’t exist to other people and not people like try to be nice to me sometimes. i do think i still kinda scare people off still on account of the rbf. i’m soooo much more confident. beforehand i was kind of a shut in and i hated socializing or going out and now im able to actually go talk to people like get out and be a person it’s so much better

But the thing is I don’t want to be stuck in the “midsize fashion” box. I don’t want to feel like I have to copy the women who nobody lists over or talks about how pretty they are just to feel like I fit a box correctly, I just want to be what people already consider to be pretty or cute. I never see people call women who look like me pretty or cute, the best compliments we get are from fem lesbians assuming we’re butches when we’re actually just like them and just want to feel cute and loved

Ofc this kind of applies to all women, esp connecting to the whole “smile more” type of thing. Being a woman is so exhausting yall 🫩

Do you expect people to read your soul when they see you?
