this is so relatable. growing up “ugly” and undesirable, once i was perceived as pretty and desirable i thought that was all i needed. i eventually learned that that wasn’t truly want i wanted out of relationships.

yes! i had the same experience. having grown up ugly made me think that once i was pretty, everything would be fixed and my life would be better, when it fact, it made everything even worse.

Hate that I know this feeling, hate that you know this feeling, but this was beautifully done

genuine curiosity and being able to feel/understand other’s wounds, dark sides or ugliness are something difficult for most of the people. so to say, these are too much for them. i deeply understand what you are saying, but this is your strength and your vivid connection with life. sadly, not everyone is capable of doing this. yet i still have this hope to meet and have in my life some rare people who can feel exactly like this, and that makes them so special for me.
