take one. hate it. delete. take another. angle up. still hate it. delete. repeat 47 times. not exaggerating—actually counted once. forty-seven attempts to get one photo where my face looked... acceptable. never posted any of them. this method didn't make me suddenly love my side profile. just made me stop seeing my face as the thing ruining every photo. your double chin isn't ruining anything, babe. you're just tired of thinking it is.

2025/10/14 Edited to

... Read moreMany of us find ourselves trapped in a cycle of self-criticism, especially when it comes to features like the double chin. Maya's method offers a fresh perspective, encouraging us to shift the focus away from perfection and toward self-acceptance. This practice doesn't magically create love for every angle but helps break the habit of harsh self-judgment. Instead of obsessing over every photo, try this: accept that your double chin is not a flaw that ruins your appearance but a natural part of you. Take fewer photos, and focus on moments when you feel genuinely happy and relaxed. When you see your image, remind yourself of your unique qualities beyond physical appearance. This mindset can reduce anxiety around selfies and social media sharing. Remember, many people experience similar struggles, and embracing your natural beauty can be empowering. Instead of deleting dozens of photos, appreciate the ones that reflect your authentic self. By practicing patience and kindness towards your self-image, you gradually stop seeing your face as “ruining” photos. Your double chin isn’t the problem; it’s the perspective you bring. Shift that, and you begin to find confidence in your side profile and beyond.

honest take: I hate having ADHD
I know I’m supposed to embrace my ADHD. I’ve read all the “it’s a superpower” posts. But sometimes I just hate it. I hate how hard basic things feel. I hate the guilt, the decision fatigue, the way I’m either hyperfocused or completely frozen. I don’t want to make every hard day into a fun neur
