the line between not going out as an act of self-care and not going out as a symptom of depression is but a gossamer thread

mitski be like I understand that you were deemed undesirable and ugly in middle school and therefore you have spent your life constantly battling between the mindsets of “looks aren’t everything” and “if I am not beautiful I will literally die” and I Am Here For You

we train young girls to ignore their hunger, to walk and stand and sit like ladies, to paint over or cover their pimples and stretch marks and cellulite, and then we are shocked when they grow up and become women who are alienated from their own bodies

people really want to miss the point of this post huh! when you starve yourself to reach a “preferred” body type because the one you have is called ugly; when you moderate every aspect of your movement to fit a feminine ideal; when you perceive harmless features of your face and body as “flaws” that must be covered—that’s being alienated from your physical form! that’s viewing yourself as two you’s, the mind and the body that must be fixed and controlled. that’s my point. not whether or not putting on eyeshadow is enjoyable for you personally. practice some critical thinking.
