I made GIFs of my face.
I have literally nothing to do.
Aghhhhhhh.
UPDATE: Even though I had nothing to do today, I still did some things that aren't very interesting. But I did them anyway. So I will show you.
First I made a painting of that song up there. I like that song. So does Sofia Coppola. Also if you didn't guess all that blue stuff with the pink and purple and teal stuff is supposed to be water? Idk I'm not very good at painting, which is okay. I just kind of do painting to exercise my creativity.
And, as a true example of our generation would do, I took many many selfies. Enjoy.
UPDATE AGAIN: This is the last time, I swear! But I just wanted to talk about those pictures up yonder.
I put some of them on my personal facebook because I liked them. I don't know. I put them up there and I was very proud because I look good and I think they capture me as I want to be seen. I got a kind of snarky comment on them from one of my friends who's like another big brother to me. We're always at each other's throats and criticizing each other. That's normal. But it made me feel really bad. I felt like I was totally trying to hard and I was being this total narcissist. I shamelessly put all these pictures of me on the internet! Wearing makeup! Looking what society would say "pretty"! No, this cannot happen! I am a teenage girl and if I look like I'm trying to be pretty I will automatically be hated by everyone! Who did I think I was, trying to be pretty? I can't believe I even thought I was pretty. I'm not pretty! I am ashamed to even be this egotistical. I am ashamed to want to be pretty and I am ashamed to bend to society's standards and I feel guilty for being such a bad feminist and not rising above it and not giving any shits ETC ETC ETC ETC
Seriously this is what goes through my mind all the fucking time. Not even about my face, but about my weight and body type too. I know when you look at these stick-skinny white girls you're like, "No way. She cannot possibly have any complaints about her body." Yeah, um, I DO. ALL THE TIME. I don't think I'm skinny enough at all, and sometimes I eat stupidly healthy foods (and not because I want to be healthy, oh no, I eat them because I don't want to be "fat") or feel extreme guilt for EATING CHOCOLATE, or any kind of animal product for that matter. I envy my friends who can just eat a whole jar of Nutella and not feel awful about it afterwards. Anyone who doesn't believe me obviously hasn't been an insecure teenager. But you guys probably do believe me because you've done this to yourself. A super good example of an extremely beautiful, privileged, skinny white woman talking about insecurities she and many other models have:
I've been wanting to talk about this for some time but I've been kind of shy, and I didn't want to sound too serious about my guilt with food. I don't have an eating disorder or anything, I promise. And I think the saddest part about this all is I am 16 and upper middle class and a feminist (I HAVE A ZINE THAT PROMOTES BODY ACCEPTANCE FOR GOD'S SAKE), and even though I have all the materials and positive messages at my fingertips, I still do not feel decent about myself very often at all. And whenever I do feel good about myself, then I feel like a stupid narcissist and I do that whole spiral you saw up there.
Anyway, that's my rant and I hope you enjoyed my brutal honesty.

Argh I totally know what you mean! I also feel really crappy whenever someone says that they would kill for my body because I'm skinny and I'm so lucky to be able to eat yet still be thin. But I don't feel lucky most of the time! There are days when I feel like a fucking babe, but there are days when I hate my 'perfect' body! Am I too thin? Should I eating more? Less? Healthier? And then for some reason I feel like I'm being ungrateful because I'm not appreciating and loving my body, and that makes me feel bad too. UGH VICIOUS CYCLE!
You look great, as ever. That jumper and that skirt! Need.
<3

I love the gifs! And I know what you mean. I feel like I have insecurities yet preach body acceptance etc as a feminist and call people out for fat shaming or whatever, and for a while I wondered if this was hypocritical but I've come to the conclusion that everyone has insecurities, and as long as what you want for yourself isn't forced upon others, it's OK, I guess. I'm still not totally sure, but it's cool that you've talked about it <3 <3 <3
Waaw ! Great great post ! You're so good at GIFS !!! And this song... <3

I'll try anything once is a great song I really love it but it gives me flashbacks of summer and not being able to sleep and staying up on tumblr till 3am and then listening to that song to get myself to sleep. (last summer was a bad time)
And I do understand what you were saying there but I don't really feel that way as much anymore. I don't really know why. I've never felt guilty about eating unhealthily but I do feel weird when I take a load of selfies or if I feel that I look pretty. and if I happen to mention it, like say that I think I look nice, you get these looks off people that say "god, she's full of herself" You feel pulled in two different directions. Want to feel happy with my appearance, don't want to seem too happy with it in order to not offend people. I guess now I'm just tired of trying keep other people happy.
yeah I've just been browsing your blog :) (that's why I'm commenting so late)
