I think about her daily
there is no audience to perform for, there is no approval, no admiration to attain. there is no role worth playing, there is no one to convince. let it go

I become a conservative when it comes to furries like something about that is really not ok on a deeper level
I cannot begin to tell you how liberating it is to be your own individual. To be the kind of person you truly want to be without trying to conform to social fads (see grown adults participating in childish TikTok trends). To not dumb yourself down by trying to fit in with crowds of mentally challenged people, to have your own unique opinions and outlook of the world without having the mob dictate your thoughts and opinions for you (see most online social media discourse). To feel empowered by the convictions you've gathered through relentless self-work and life experiences instead of adapting a victimhood mindset from others. To behave truly as who you believe the best version of yourself to be unapologetically. To not care about the opinion of random people but instead those whom you truly admire. To not live your life trying to always be desirable and appealing to men, constantly worrying about wanting to attract the attention of men and completely centering your life around males (see many "femininity" and "high value" coaches). To seek purpose beyond the mundane things of day-to-day life, beyond what is considered normal or regular. To not fit in and feel happy because of it. To live a life not bound by the people around you but a life that truly speaks to your inner being. It is so freeing.

I got a lot of asks on this topic with slight variations of essentially the same question so here goes.
Fake confidence is not confidence. It’s literally fake, it says that in the name. It’s pretending. That’s not terrible but if you’re wondering why all this time has gone by and you still haven’t become truly confident it’s because it’s fake! At best it will appear real to outsiders, which is nice, but you will still be miserable as the person who is inhabiting your body and living your life. Fake confidence only looks good until someone with authentic confidence walks into the room and shows you how it’s done. The truth is that most people who fake it until they make it, don’t ever make it. They are just hoping to be perceived as someone who has made it.
I’m sorry to tell you but if you’ve been doing affirmations for years and years and you’re still sending me asks about being confident, it’s not working. I can’t say if you’re doing it wrong, not doing it enough, or not believing it hard enough but either way, something’s gotta give. How many more years are you gonna waste?
You start building confidence in 2 ways: one, you get action-based self esteem. Get some hobbies and work on them. Learn some skills, get good grades, try something new. Do something with your days!! Make an effort!! Complete something!! Scrolling all day won’t give you a sense of accomplishment and when 5,7,10 years go by and you look up and realize that you have nothing going for yourself, you will obviouslyyyyy feel like crap. Reread this point over and over again. Two, get in tune with yourself and figure out what you like, dislike, and truly want. When you really know yourself like that, you will make moves accordingly. You won’t question everything you do and run all of your decisions past other people. You’ll just happily make decisions on your own accord. You will not get to know yourself on a deep enough level if you are online all day and that’s a fact. You’re constantly bombarded with everyone else’s content, everyone else’s opinions, everyone else’s sense of style. Your brain has become a frankstein monster of every other persons ideas. Who are you even? Do you even know? Without a bunch of tiktok girls to tell you what your new aesthetic of the month is, do you even know what you like doing, buying, wearing, how you like to decorate, or what you want to do as a morning routine? Or are you just gonna keep letting outsiders tell you that in January you’re a pink Pilates princess and in March you’re a clean girl and in July you’re that girl. Who are you?? You’ll never be confident if you’re always cosplaying other people. Log off and find yourself.
Stop crumbling every time someone doesn’t like you or what you do. Learn to like yourself! Stop letting the opinions of strangers hold you hostage. Do you like yourself? Okay then.
Remember that being confident doesn’t require you to think you’re the best of the best, the crème de la crème, the hottest thing walking. You can think your looks are overall average, and still be wildly confident. You can acknowledge that you aren’t the best in the world and still be confident. Not only is being less than perfect absolutely okay, it’s rooted in reality. When people try to boost your confidence by having you tell yourself that you’re essentially perfect in whatever domain, that’s toxic positivity and fake confidence yet again. Rid yourself of the thought that confidence always looks like arrogance and lying to yourself about being at the top of the pyramid. Yes you have shortcomings. Lots of them. So do I. And???
I just want to reiterate that lying to yourself hardly does anything for your confidence long term and it’s just so clear. If you are upset about the fact that your body is average, your face is average, you have little to no dating experience, and you haven’t been a part of any substantial activities since freshman year volleyball where you weren’t even that great and quit after one year, I don’t know why you think that pretending you’re Maddy Perez or Jennie while you halfheartedly recite affirmations that state you’re the sexiest woman in the room ✨, everyone is obsessed with you ✨, you attract nothing but life’s luxuries ✨ is really helping you. Like….this isn’t building your confidence really. Giving you a bandaid perhaps. But what would really make you feel better is to go out and get some activities into your schedule where you start at a low level and through your hard work you get better and better. You start working out and building the body you want. You accept the fact that you don’t need to be the prettiest girl in the world to enjoy yourself and have a fantastic life, so instead you style your hair and makeup in a way that you genuinely like and confidently go out into the world knowing and fully being okay with the fact that not everyone thinks you’re stunning but that’s okay. Because you are pleased when you look in the mirror. And there’s more to life than trying (and failing) to be everyone’s type. That’s much more progress than listening to “manifest looking like an instagram model 10 hour 3D audio” every night.
You're a predator if you encourage young women to engage in sex work. You're a predator if you share explicit images/videos on apps that are easily accessible by a younger audience. Women can exhibit predatory behaviors just as much as men do. Lets not ignore the hundreds that want us to call "sex work" real work. Sex work is completely different from a traditional nine to five. Its dangerous. The emotional and mental labor is damaging. Lets be real here and start acknowledging the facts. When we normalize something, we encourage a younger generation to find purpose in it. There is no purpose in sex work besides pleasing dirty gross men. There is no gain for women when engaging in sex work. Im so sick and tired of this agenda being pushed to young girls as "feminism."
What if what Aladdin meant by a whole new world, he was just gonna get Jasmine high as shit to see the world from a stoner’s point of view?
sometimes i randomly think about how much this post sucks and start laughing really hard
I think about how often i fantasized about being a teenager when i was a child- and how this was robbed from me. Does anyone else thats older gen z (im 21) feel this way? The teenagerhood i fantasized about based off of TV and watching my older cousins was Classic ipods and mp3 players, a degrassi type high school, long sleeve shirts under short sleeve shirts, boys actually acting like theyre interested in girls and not like misogynistic homoerotic nerds (seriously. Seriously. I thought “all boys only want one thing”?? These days high school boys dont even like sex or boobs). I thought we were going to hang out at the mall.
Instead i got fucking. Music.ally (later tiktok), stupid dance trends, fashion that is SO. MUCH. WORSE. than tacky low rise jeans and uggs. Theres no fun bitchiness and mean girls wearing all pink with high heels n teased hair- all the mean girls wear oversized t shirts and nike pro shorts and always have soaking wet hair like they just stepped out of the shower and the only makeup they wear is like 583948 layers of mascara that gives them scary spider leg eyelashes. Nobody went to the mall to hang out.
ALL OF THIS👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
