Mentí • I lied

Throughout my experiences, I've realized how important it is to create and respect personal boundaries. Embracing the freedom that comes with having my own income ($$$) has been empowering, allowing me to make decisions without relying on others. Saying no and cutting people off when necessary isn't always easy, but it protects my mental space and keeps my relationships healthy. Pretty privilege is something I acknowledge honestly—it has opened doors, made social interactions smoother, and boosted my confidence. That said, I know true self-worth isn’t just about looks but also about how we treat ourselves and others. Being sensitive means I’m in tune with my emotions and others’, which can sometimes lead to irritation, especially in stressful situations. But it also makes me a 'lover girl'—someone who values connection, kindness, and affection deeply. Balancing all these aspects—assertiveness, sensitivity, financial independence, and self-awareness—has greatly contributed to my growth. It encourages living authentically without pretending or suppressing parts of myself. Embracing these contradictions wholeheartedly can inspire others to do the same.
