your daughter sounds like everyone I've gone to school with. I had to escape that atmosphere for a better peace of mind and go about my own success without comparison of my peers.
Where does being extremely witty AND attractive rank?
No, I simply have a different perspective. I am a special education teacher and spend my days with children who are in the process of realizing that other people are smarter than them.
The answer is: because depression is a mental disorder that doesn’t give a fuck how “worthy” you seem to other people.
When I was an ugly, fat child with braces and glasses it never occurred to me that attractive or even average people could have problems.

Like, whatever I guess, they’ve been married for 20 years and obviously this dynamic works for them. It makes me knee-jerk grossed out to read these comments now, but there are a million kinks and relationship types and preferences I will never understand, nor do I need to.
I was happy to give her an enormous amount of decision making just as a gift
Oooh, I like the idea of the plum. I know I have some blue undertones to my skin, but thanks to Yay!Acne!, I have a fair amount of red as well.
