A Monday...

...wherein I got up early enough to put on gold eyeliner, mascara and my favorite bright red lipstick, and to actually sorta kinda fix my hair

...wherein I'm wearing my new favorite pair of earrings (costume jewelry, and the stone fell out of one but I love it still, I who thought I'd never wear a pair of hoop earrings in my life)

...wherein I smiled for a picture I sent to my mum and captioned it "well I actually look like someone's daughter for a change"

...wherein I felt the first stirrings of confidence, even though I haven't done the shave in a couple of weeks, and I don't have the smallest of waists anymore

...wherein I got the first inkling of what self-love is like, and I fell in love with it.

Physically starving, as I haven't eaten yet. But this poem is filling my mind.

I signed up for a daily poem to come to my email.

Today, I received this.

I'm not gonna comment on it.

Food for thought, for us all.
