I have had enough of feeling insecure and checking the mirror every day, making sure that my bum doesn’t look too big in these pair of jeans or if my lips are dull and not cherry. Smelling myself to see if the vanilla assent hasn’t faded off, checking my elbows to see if they are smooth and not dry. I blow on my hand and smell my breath making sure its minty. Why do I look a hundred times in the mirror to make sure I’m pretty, why can’t I JUST accept myself…
