Wear the red nail polish.
You felt it was too bold, too attention provoking. You wouldn't dare come across so strongly.
But that's bullshit.
When the woman complimented the color, you felt seen, not called out.
You expected to be antagonized. Why?
Why do you fear being seen? Don't.
You're seen anyway, everyone judges you, why not exist without regard for the inner thoughts of other people? Who are they? Why would you care?
Why do you care?
But that's the problem, you care, and others say too much.
But your care, the vulnerability, the exhaustiveness of it, there is strength in that.
Stop allowing others to make you feel pathetic because you feel.
You are not small, weak, a pushover.
But please have boundaries, you feel empty sometimes because you've given all that's left to others. Care about yourself too,
Arguably, care about yourself first.
I know, scary, right?
And yes, this means doing more than taking a bath on Sundays or lighting a honey scented candle.
Listen to the woman who commented on your read nail polish, you're typing this in the middle of her class.
She has nice cameo earrings, thank you for telling her, your use of verbal affection is a strength too.
Anyway,
Back to work,
All the Love,
Peachie xx
P.s. I'm serious, stop hiding, men aren't that scary
