Ah man. I want to see the rare happy version of this one. And to feel it. And for everyone to feel it a little more.
It makes me think about how when you feel all those things, someone manages to look at you and say, “Wow, you look really tired.” Awesome, just awesome. I’m already trying to get over my reflection in the mirror from ten minutes ago. I’ve already given myself a pep talk. And, now. Now, you, oh so caring woman I’ve said like six things to in my entire life, reminds me that I look like shit. Thanks!
Thank you! This image brought me to tears because it is how I feel every single day of my life.
Me too. Every single day. So we keep trying, yes?
