i WAS pretty when i was younger. i guess i’m not bad for an old lady, but …
when my ex used to tell me i was pretty i was almost insulted. like- how stupid does he think i am?
1 of many reasons i dont talk to my sisters much.

the whole thing was rly reinforced in the days i used to hang out w my younger sister. i’m objectively better looking than her. i just am. she has my mom’s schnoz and crooked teeth. but she always put so much more effort into looking good. she was much better than me at makeup. so she got way more attention than i did.
it taught me a lot about beauty in america. these rich women who do all that plastic surgery, and go to such lengths to b ‘beautiful’ r being valued for the lengths they go to, not the results.
