A little update on why I’ve been a bit quiet the past couple..
Added 2024-08-16 15:57:32 +0000 UTCA little update on why I’ve been a bit quiet the past couple of days. First off I’d like to apologize, but I’ve had a hard time mentally and haven’t really been in a place where I really wanted to be “seen”. As you know I am a huge believer in honesty and transparency, especially on social media, so to honor that I’d like to share what’s been going on. It recently came to my attention that in multiple forums, both online and irl apparently, my general appearance is being discussed at length. And in particular there is being drawn comparisons between myself and another creator who shall remain nameless. The comparisons are NOT in my favor. In general, I find this whole topic of comparison of women quite uncomfortable - because no one compares women more than women do. It is an inherently destructive thing and something I have struggled with a LOT in the past but particularly in recent years. It’s extremely hard to combat with societal pressures, and all made worse with social media. I feel like women are almost taught from an early age to be “compared” as our value often is depicted primarily visually. Comparisons can be good and bad I guess. Good being “oh wow those leggings look amazing on her I want those”. Bad/ destructive sounding more like “ugh I wish I was short and petite like her and not a big whale”
