[19F] PROGRESS UPDATE POST

Ever since starting college, I’ve considered myself a work in progress! I’m now a sophomore and slowly gaining back a little confidence. I still struggle with self loathing, bulimia, and self comparison. But I’ve come a long way. I know I’m very young, but I do think I’ve made difference enough to post on here.

I know my bangs will come up. Whether you like them or not, it took a lot of courage to try something new. It’ll take a very long time to grow them out. So I would rather not reflect on whether or not it was a good or bad decision.

It’s been about 6 months since I’ve last posted but I got a lot of negative feedback. So this time I am posting on an account that is not my personal.

Feedback is welcome but don’t phrase it harshly. I still have very little self worth so I’m very sensitive about negativity.

Please no racist comments either... I’m mixed quarter German quarter Mexican and half Chinese

But feel free to make fun of my high school photos- I’m aware I looked ugly.

Thank you 😄

Here are my photos!

Edit: this change had a lot to do with how conservative my family was growing up. No makeup, no boys, no revealing clothing, all study. But since starting college and gaining a little independence I’ve tried to make up for lost time by building myself to become happier! :)) learning makeup has been rough, so has learning to dress modernly, and talk normally.

The sad truth of it all, is the better you look the more people will like you. I have a lot more friends now. I’m still very socially awkward but I’m coming along.
