Mean girls make me feel small, like I used to when I was 13.
I feel fat, I feel stupid, I feel like a nerd.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, I am a nerd, so I always feel like one, but they make me feel like it's a bad word.
I work so hard at surrounding myself with the right people so I can stop myself feeling like this.
Too hard to be dealing with this shit.
I don’t care how many calories are in whatever I’m eating.
It tastes good.
“God I wish I had your confidence, you just don’t care how you look”
If only you knew how much I care.
You’re right in a way.
I don’t care what you think about the way I look.
I try not to care.
I’m not trying to impress you.

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”
