People tell me I'm pretty but I have absolutely no idea if they're bullshitting me or not. I mean, they could just be trying to be kind...I look in the mirror and sometimes I'm sort of like "hrm...yeah, not godawful" and other times "HOLY SHIT GOD ALMIGHTY OH MY GOD OH CHRIST BUY ME A BALACLAVAAAAARGHH."
I mean, I really don't know. Are the ugly photos more accurate than the pretty ones? I know pretty photos of me exist because people who hate me have had to concede that, if the pictures tell the truth, I'm pretty. But do the pictures tell the truth? Sometimes I comment that a picture of me is dreadful and someone will tell me that it's not bad at all, and I'll be thinking "what? You mean I look like this all the time? You mean this isn't bad for me? Fetch me that balaclava."
On the whole, I just try not to think about how I look and focus on trying to be a nice/good person. It helps my brain to not explode.
