today i went to my classes without makeup on and didn't once feel the urge to go look in a mirror and check my appearance. i haven't been in public without makeup on and not continuously looked at or thought about looking at myself in the mirror to try and fix myself for as long as i can remember. i can't look at myself and not feel an overwhelming anxiety to fix my hair, face, whatever issue i imagine there to be. i spend most of my day in front of a mirror checking and rechecking how i look, spending hours doing and redoing my hair, makeup, changing clothes multiple times because of how they look on me. today my bdd didn't affect me; i didn't judge my body or my weight negatively once. i didn't have to pep talk myself to walk away from the mirror. today i felt amazing in my skin and for that i felt strong. i've been monitoring everything i eat and taking care of myself and today it paid off. today i had hope that i will continue to feel this relief from my anxiety, my paranoia, my bdd. today i felt beautiful, confident, and healthy and today i am grateful for the temple i've been given, and for my field for providing me with the insight that i need to strengthen myself.

Steph from Doodle Date! [I swear it’s not Barbie lol] Today I’ve bought super cheap coloured pencils. I’ve never really coloured any of my drawings so I’m not good at this as you can see… But let’s just all pretend that’s the fault of shitty crayons, ok? ok. Also, Steph is the reason why I wanted to use colours in the first place. Her drawings are always so pretty ;v;

Today, Romano helped a tourist with their Italian. The tourist was very thankful for the language lesson.
