To all my moots who are insecure about their physical appearance,
Idk if yall ever thought i’m confident or not about my looks, but i have to say i’m not confident with it.. i’m comfortable with it.

I spent years agonising about my looks and body shape, always—
Comparing myself to other prettier girls.

Why can’t i have an oval face? Why is my skin darker than the rest? Why this why that—

These thoughts ruined me for a very long time. I avoided mirrors and selfies and just hated how i look basically.
Then, one day they changed.

I realised i can’t live with the beauty standards set by society. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin. And the need to do so was what that made me today.

Sure, i wear make up and fashionable clothes—
But i focus on accepting the flaws of my physical appearance. Chubby cheeks? Round face? Flat nose? Dark skin?

I own them.

I didn’t become confident.

I became comfortable, because this face is what i see in the mirror every day for the rest of my life.
This face and body is what makes Syasya Syasya and if i’m constantly hating my looks, how can i overcome the hurdles of self love?

I learnt how to do it— to be comfortable with my own skin.

So, i believe that you can too.
