beauty and the dress

this is worth reading. every once in a while, you find someone who speaks the words as if they can hear your thoughts, as if they can see right through to your deepest parts and manage to spin out the tale imprinted there.


I spent years not buying myself new clothes because it was too depressing. I'll buy that when I lose some weight, I thought. And then I never did, whether I lost weight or not. It was easier to deny myself than to believe I was pretty enough to deserve a scrap of overpriced fabric. Than to stop thinking clothes were something I had to earn.

thanks for speaking for me, Cat.
