also y'all need to fall in love with your bare faces. don’t “tolerate” or “deal with” the way your face looks without any makeup on, actively embrace and love your natural features. spend some time naked in the mirror and memorize your body. smile at yourself. laugh with yourself. enjoy the way your hair looks unstyled, the way your body looks unshaved. fall in love with the way your body looks when you’re not trying to change everything about it.
imagine having no friends and then the most popular boy in school begrudgingly befriends you so you fall in love with him but then wants to join a gang and you have to spend like four years getting him back. That’s the plot of naruto.
GOD i hate this idea that not graduating when anticipated is considered “late” or “not on time” because it only just reinforces the stigma of being behind, not being as good as your peers, etc and it’s garbage! if you graduate at a time later than you had anticipated, youre still worthy of respect and you still graduated, whether it was a semester, a year, or thirty years down the line
