Happy me is really pretty but…

Why do I only feel pretty when I want to end it?

2024/8/30 Edited to

... Read moreMany individuals experience a paradox where they perceive themselves as more beautiful during challenging emotional periods. This phenomenon may stem from a desire to feel validated when facing struggles, leading to a compelling contrast between inner turmoil and exterior appearance. Understanding this connection is crucial in unraveling feelings of self-worth. Moreover, societal standards often emphasize the aesthetic value of struggle and vulnerability, influencing beliefs about beauty. This can create an emotional attachment to feelings of sadness as a source of beauty, leading to the question: can we find beauty in happiness as well? It becomes essential to note that fostering self-acceptance and nurturing a balanced view of beauty can profoundly impact mental well-being. Awareness of personal beauty beyond conventional standards allows individuals to embrace their unique worth, irrespective of emotional states or societal pressures.

A pretty, brass faucet for under $70?!?!
Amazon does it again! I had been over our basic silver faucet since the day we moved in, especially since our kitchen is filled with brass hardware. I'm not sure why it took me so long to swap it out but I'm so happy I did! I definitely thought that a good quality kitchen faucet was going
