Tonight I was heating up sausage on the stove and my fire alarm started going off. I walked outside because I thought it was a drill (???) and it was JUST MY APARTMENT BEEPING. โฃ

Even now, I generally donโ€™t feel like I am conventionally attractive. For a majority of my childhood, I was one of the only ones who looked like me. It was HARD. โฃ

I didnโ€™t realize how much I wanted to โ€œfit inโ€ with the European beauty standards that I couldnโ€™t seem to replicate until much later on in life.โฃ
