Hi, Sleepyheads!

Thank you in advance for giving me a little extra grace around how I explain all of this—it’s really hard to put into words!

I hesitate to even talk about things in terms of ‘ugly’ or ‘not ugly’ or ‘pretty,’ except as a jumping-off point for discussing the larger internalized constructs that have undergirded my negative self talk at the height of my dysmorphia.

I also didn’t mean the bit about some celebrities’ plastic surgery not ‘end[ing] up looking great’ as a value judgment on the cosmetic preferences of those individuals, but more as a reference to predatory surgeons and aestheticians whose negligence can create undesired outcomes (i.e. scarring, overfilling, etc.).

Lastly (until something else occurs to me)… sorry this video involved so much pee talk. It surprised me, too.

Love you all lots, please take care of yourselves & each other!
