Wait… I used to dream about the old me, the one who pulled at her clothes, hid in the back of photos, and hated every inch of herself. I’d wake up shaken, ashamed, like I couldn’t escape her. Now I look in the mirror and she’s gone. Replaced. Finally. I dumped that whole story in my blog before I take it down. xo, Maya 💕
