I am a well adjusted person. I'm happy with myself and comfortable with my body. I am confident. And yet, I still believe - completely and utterly - that my life would be better if I were beautiful

How bizarre, I just made sure my 2004 no longer exists (Im thinking of putting a link to my lj in my facebook) and I didnt want people to read my 2004. Or the beginning of 2005. Or selected parts of 2006...really I should think before I ramble. This reminds me so much of how I was then, Im glad its not just me.
Its true, boys dont have to think about these things. Although I wouldnt give up being a girl to be a guy. No way, no how. And you will be happy to know that you have further inspired me to leave my straighteners here as I head off for Spring Break. Im gonna be brave.
*huggles* I know how you feel, you always have this pressure being a girl that you need to look good otherwise you're worth nothing, or something. It's awful and I hate how it runs and ruins so many lifes.. damnit. We should be taught to be happy with what we have!
I've spent the evening reading feminist crap (woo lit ¬_¬) and they just made me mad at feminists, this has made me want to eat icecream and have a girly night.
I know how you feel. The other day I straightened my hair even though I wasn't going anywhere - not even downstairs or to the kitchen - just because it was frizzy. I haven't eaten a lot this weekend and while I sit and think about how I should go and make a decent meal, at the back of my mind is a little voice saying I might look that little bit better for it.
But you know if instead of the skinny pretty people we had normal people they would be there just to be not skinny, not because of how they look themselves.
I do know just what you mean - even I, someone who cares seemingly very little about her appearance (at least on a girl scale) straighten my hair all the time, even if I'm just going out for a few minutes. Its so silly, men have it so easy damnit!
Oh and I do the hoodie thing! Every night as soon as I get in from college I'm straight into my lovely fleecy comfortable hoodie, but I'd never dream of going out in it. I wish I could as well, it might have prevented me getting this awful cold!!
