feeling cute for once

as of last summer i'm chronically ill, it comes with a lot of challenges.  one of the biggest & most glaring being the affect it has had on my appearance, thus my self esteem.  but lately it's been getting better, & tonight i actually felt cute.  like, i saw myself & liked how i look.  it's nice to feel that way, i wanted to share for anyone else who might be struggling with anything similar; you're not alone, progress isn't linear, and there will be a time again where you like what you see in the mirror.  sending love to anybody who feels they need it ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
