Pretty isn’t pretty enough

https://ift.tt/da0h5eA

I’m not an Olivia Rodrigo fan, but I listened to the new album out of boredom a couple days ago, and the song ‘Pretty’ really struck a chord with me.

The chorus is ‘when pretty isn’t pretty enough’ and ‘everybody’s keeping it up’.

I am TIRED. I am TIRED of being at war with my body and putting makeup on my face. I am going to exercise. I am going to try my best to eat well. I am going to wear concealer, mascara, and lipstick, and brush my hair.

But then I’m done.

After that I’m done.

I look significantly prettier than I did before, and it’s still not enough. Compared to what I was, I am pretty. But I’m still not Pretty. I’ll never be.

Maybe I’ll try some other stuff some other time, but for now, this is what it’s gonna be. This is all I’m willing to do.

I am not currently making myself available to scroll through the endless list of things I have to buy and errors I have to correct.

This is enough. I am enough. I am going to let myself breathe.

If you are trying to have a ‘glow up’, I reccomend letting yourself breathe. Stay in touch with what you like, want, and what makes you feel good. Does it feel right on you? Does it fulfill an old desire that makes you feel better about how you look? And is it manageable? If so, continue.

If you find yourself buying products you only just found out about yesterday and don’t fully understand how to use or feel comfortable with just because someone online told you you had to, you will end up feeling farther and farther from yourself. ‘Pretty’ is not out there. pretty is but Pretty is not. That ideal, that image, that perfect version of you…she doesn’t exist. You can get closer to her, but the horizon line will keep moving. No matter how close you get, you will feel miles and miles and miles away. You will feel just like you feel right now.

So stay in touch with yourself and forget her.

Pretty isn’t pretty enough anyway.
