I hate the term “Basic girl” Why would I not want to be like other girls? I often don’t feel smart or pretty but neither do other girls. I hate when I cry , yet hate it even more when I laugh .. as do other girls. I love speaking my mind but hate hearing my voice the same way other girls do. Women have the same formula just different bodies. We all fear not being enough or being too much. We fear coming off as obsessed with our looks but also fear being unattractive. We fear aging and not being beautiful anymore. We fear the scale and the number that follows. I would kill for the ability to eat a cheeseburger without shame following. We have our beauty picked apart. You can be beautiful but then women will envy you, you can be “ugly” and men will hate you . And the shitty part is either way you’ll still end up hating yourself. Women all live very different lives and end up in different places yet somehow there is always going to be “me too” conversation.
I think other girls are cool, and fun. They’re smart clever and articulate. They’re emotional, persuasive, passionate. I can only hope im exactly like other girls.
