The Ups and the Downs

X: *Looks into the mirror and runs fingers through her hair.*

Up: "You are glowing, today. The skin products you're using are really working." ⬆️

Down: "No they're not. Get out your makeup! You need it."⬇️

Up: "No you don't. Go without it, today."⬆️

Down: "Be real with yourself. You can't go out of the house looking like an ugly animal. You need your makeup in order to look decent. There's no such thing as 'natural beauty' for you. You've ruined that."⬇️

Up: "Take a closer look at yourself. There's natural beauty all over you."⬆️

Down: *Sigh* "Oh, Please. Don't fool yourself. Look at all of these girls that are your age; some even younger than you, that look drop dead gorgeous. Drop dead gorgeous!!! They can attract boys like a magnet."⬇️

Up: "That's not always good, you know. I'm sure you'll find someone that loves you for you later in life."⬆️

Down: "Oh, the lies, THE LIES! You're dealing with young, millennial minds who have their own versions of perfection. You are a lost deer, X. Your confidence is like a castle of wooden blocks. You don't try hard enough to make it sturdy when you build it up. Anyone and anything can take their bias ways and words and knock it down - that includes me. You don't try hard enough to build up your self esteem!"⬇️

X: "Y-yes I do try! I try to love myself. My emotions are critical and mixed. "

Down: "Well, get over it!"⬇️

Up: "Love yourself."⬆️

Down: "You've destroyed yourself."⬇️

Up: "Love yourself."⬆️

Down: "No one will ever want you."⬇️

Up: "Love yourself."⬆️

Down: "Stop fooling yourself."⬇️

Up: "Love yourself or lose yourself."

X: "I feel like I'm losing myself."
