Alright hun, it’s time we had a chat.
Here you are, hung up over that slightly unusual look you got last night from that girl. It was literally a split-second and now here we are, eleven hours later wondering what she thought. But WHY?! Do you even know who she is? NO! Did you look in the mirror on the way out and think you looked the best you ever had? YES! So why are we doing this?!
We’ve all been there. We’ve all had those looks from random people passing by. We’ve all heard those comments from some guy who can’t pull off anything more adventurous than a solid colour t-shirt. We’ve all said that thing that maybe we shouldn’t have, but, we’ve got to move past this! It’s in the past. We can’t go back and undo it now, and the world isn't going to end!
Take it from a girl who uses ten emojis in every message to make sure the other person knows exactly what tone every word was imagined in – we’ve got to relax just a little bit.
Take this one time I went out with my friends as an example. The second I got home, I thought that they actually hadn’t wanted to see me at all and were just doing it so it’s done. My evidence? None. Did that stop me? No. Did it improve the situation? Of course not!
We all care about these tiny things because at the end of the day, we all need a certain level of validation and approval from people. It’s completely natural, I’m the exact same, and it can be so difficult when you feel you don’t have them.
Regardless, remember that I love you, I think you look stunning, and you are the iconic queen you know you are. If some random stranger gives you a funny look, they're probably just in awe.
The next time you get a funny look from someone you’ve never met before, feel self-conscious about the outfit choice you’ve gone with or are thinking back to times gone by and that interlude you made, stop and take stock. You’re never going to meet that person again, so their opinion and unusual look does not and will not matter. You have to be your own biggest cheerleader. No one else has the full picture of everything you’re going through and how well you have handled the past, so cheer yourself on!
Those words have been said. In the past. They’re gone. And if they’re something that needs remedying, that’s for future words, not past ones.
You’re never going to be perfect, it’s impossible, so you might find this helps: “seeing as unicorns don’t exist, I suggest we get on the f**king horse”.
