    Toxic positivity is real, and really helps no one.

    I also find I need a year or so to process things, because when I’m swimming in the chaos at the time, I can barely make sense of it under duress

      Thank you for validating what I’ve been screaming into the void for the last few years.

      I’m an extremely optimistic person, but, no Carla, I’m not “so beautiful that [I] could be a model”. I’m aware of my limitations of that area, and telling me that is real nice and polite on your end, but let’s be realistic here. Lol

      Now apply that to my other traits. I’m not being “mean to myself” by addressing my shortcomings and flaws. I’m aware that I have many talents and other things I’m proud of, so don’t fucking lie to my face.
