Being A Girl - Tumblr Posts








"The pretty lies, the ugly truth"












🏝️2024 is the new 2014🏝️
I want to feel powerful again.
I used to be a powerful girl. A hot girl. A confident girl.
Someone people looked up to and envied my confidence.
Now I’m just like the quintessential girl– anxious, meek, visibly insecure.
And now I’m even more like any other girl– I finally have an eating disorder. I wonder if every girl is just waiting for the time they’ll be sexually assaulted or get a legitimate eating disorder (not a weak half-eating disorder where you just kind of don’t eat enough or kind of eat too much).
It seems like a rite of passage into womanhood. Are you even a woman if you’re not insecure, have an eating disorder, are currently or previously in an abusive relationship, or have been sexually assaulted?
Or are you a mystical non-woman who actually, seriously, truly (not lying) is comfortable with herself and food is easy for her?
You’ll be admired but also kind of despised, because you’re so foreign and difficult to relate to and understand.
So far I’m still half-unicorn: I haven’t had any full-on sexual assaults. Semi-close calls, obviously. I mean come on. I’m a girl.
one of my friends got in a wreck (not caused by her dw) and she’s okay but she took a BeReal of it and that’s the funniest thing to me. Call it girlhood, being Gen Z, whatever it is it’s great.
It was truly time to ‘be real’ and her car was quite literally smushed.
Craving the validation of men, then realizing you’re on your period and it was making u a freak😔
i fear that my depression will loom over me for the majority of my life and i don't know if there's anything i can do about it!

Me in my room doing nothing but being a girl

Me with my best friend in my room
I wish I had a best friend.
I wish I had a best friend but I can't tell anyone that because I have so many amazing friends.
But all of my amazing friends have best friends and significant others and they all have that one person who they put above everyone else and who puts them above everyone else too.
And it's not me.
And I wish I had a best friend.
No one talks about how lonely it is to be the third wheel in a friendship. Or the 11th wheel in a friend group
The people I consider myself closest to are best friends. They celebrated one of their birthdays without me.
I wished her a happy birthday and told her I missed her. She's in college, i haven't seen her since she graduated. She said she missed me too. But she didn't invite me to her party.
I wonder sometimes if my friends even like me. But then I remember that's silly. I know they love me. I guess they just don't love me as much as they love each other.
And God i know it has nothing to do with me. You can't control who you connect with. But for once I just wish it would be me!
Am I too much? Am I a pick me for wanting to be picked?
What's so wrong with wanting to be wanted?

Me every morning when I wake up
