(no subject)
I just got back from a counseling session (as the patient, not the counselor!) and there are a bunch of things running through my head that just needed to get out in writing so I don't lose them.
You are who you are, and although you're not "that girl" or "that girl" it is okay. That fact will be met with some sadness, but, once again, it is not particularly out of the blue.
I think that was the biggest realization, which sounds rather strange because it does seem like something everyone would know...but apparently I didn't...or, rather, I did know it, but I wasn't okay with it.
Every time I pass another girl on the street, for whatever reason I compare myself to her as if my self worth is intertwined with hers.
Comparing myself to her brings on the sadness felt in previous years and it should be taken as such and not a reflection of my perceived inadequacies.
It's okay to wear skirts and dresses if you want to.
You are a girl, stop feeling like an inadequate version of one.
