 I feel like I'm under pressure to post bare-faced, unfiltered pictures to prove something I don't fully understand, and it's sort of unfair because the feed is full of women less than half my age, many of whom only exist in digital form, almost all of whom have no pores. 
 Should we start a #porepics movement in solidarity? 
 Just felt like whining.

The Beauty Standard is backward. The old, plain, worn-out, computer-nerd mom gets inspected with an electron-scanning microscope. The 22 year-old bikini model gets a pass, even though she has 2 pinky fingers. 😭 
 I prefer people with the correct number of fingers. 
 5 finger supremacist 
 Just focus on you and fuck the rest of the world....seeking approval from strangers is a slippery slope. 
 YOU ARE TELENTED AND BEAUTIFUL  
 AND MY MOMMY LOVES ME 
 go eat some chocolate
 
 This is never a wrong answer. 🤔

But I'm actually going to go downstairs and eat potato dumplings and pot roast from Oma because 

MY MOTHER IN-LAW LOVES ME, TOO. 
 I definitely havw pores too 🫂 and stretch marks. I think stretch marks look rather pretty though. Like branches on a tree. Also have some scars from falling over and that one time my little brother bit my arm when we were kids 🙏🏽 nothing wrong with having a little texture ❤️‍🔥 it’s a human thing. You are a very beautiful lady. Fuck what anyone else thinks 🫂 
 I have belly stetch marks, from the pregnancies. 

Battle scars. 
 beauty marks <3 
 Exactly ❤️‍🔥🫂 
 Beauty standards are bullshit. I always like remind myself that I’m the best looking girl in a 10 mile radius. But then again, I’m alone in the woods a lot. 
 💜 love the attitude! 
 I'm not even the best-looking girl within a 10-meter radius, but I produced the girl who is, so I'm okay with that. 😂

 A mini chip would steal my crown too. 
 😂❤️‍🔥🫂💯
I don’t pay too much attention to beauty standards either 🫂 cos beauty is just so subjective. 
 I think I post so many selfies out of defiance, sometimes. 😂 It's so deliciously inappropriate and socially inept, that it just feels right.

THIS IS A RANDO PICTURE OF A MIDDLE-AGED HOUSEWIFE THAT IS APPEARING IN A TIMELINE THAT IS OTHERWISE FULL OF ENGINEERING CHIT-CHAT AND ECONOMICS DIAGRAMS. JUST GO WITH IT. YOLO.
