Is that alright?
I find I notice small details.
An eyelash that isn’t straight, rather tilting. Then I have to pull it out, because what else am I going to do? Its imperfect and surely someone will notice it.
They’re never significant, not even to me. Just to the point where I actually notice them and pay obsession to them. If i don’t pull that eyelash out, i’ll get fidgety and freak out.
Or, hey, this eye is smaller.
This cheekbone is lower.
This side of my jawline is less defined.
My bottom teeth are crooked.
Ask someone?
“No, you’re fine.”
“No, its not.”
“What’s wrong with you?”
“You have such perfect teeth.”
So what’s wrong?
I think I don’t see myself correctly, because everything is flawed. Everything.
Nothing on me is even. Something has to be wrong, and it has to be in my head.
Or.
“Are you a tea junkie?”
OH SHIT! HE’S GONNA TAKE THAT THE WRONG WAY
“I like that scarf.”
OH FUCK! I LIKE HER OTHER ONES TOO. WHAT WILL SHE SAY?
You look really nice today.
HE’S GONNA THINK I THINK HE’S UGLY EVERY OTHER DAY!
Does everyone notice little flaws?
Does everyone evaluate what they say so heavily?
Oh, how about..
“I really like that shirt, Jen.”
No, you don’t.
“That eyeliner looks good on you.”
What? Its smeared to hell.
“You have nice eyes.”
No, I don’t.
“I like your taste in music.”
No, you’re just saying that.
“I love you.”
You don’t mean it.
I’m so sick of this, honestly.
I don’t want to question everything.
I don’t want to blame everything on myself.
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
