I never decide a photo is beautiful after the fact. If I did, I’d never post anything. Instead, I judge them based on how I felt in the photo and how I felt looking at it immediately after, when the glow of feeling confident could not yet be bulldozed by low self esteem. Given enough time, my brain will always conclude that I’m ugly or disgusting or not worth anybody’s time. But when I give it no time at all, when I shut the door on that gremlin shaped inner voice that’s been there all my life, my mind reinterprets everything I do as authentically beautiful. Is it a subjective evaluation? Yeah. But if the world has other ideas about what constitutes beauty; frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn 💫 #thegremlin #thatis #lowselfesteem #workingonit #gonewiththewindquote https://www.instagram.com/p/BzKLkeHlnm3/?igshid=1tvs6w207n1rk
