I look at myself in the mirror. I **** my stomach in. I turn and walk away, only to turn around. Today isn't a great day. I think of changing my clothes. I think of changing my clothes, again. I decide I don't have time to do it. (I don't think about the inner thoughts pervading my head). I get called cute once. I get called cute twice. I have a skip in my step. Hey, this isn't so bad, is it? Some days, I give in to the peer pressure in my head. Some days, I dress in baggy clothes to try and hide my figure. But, some days, some very rare days, I love the way I look.

One of those days
I look at myself in the mirror. I **** my stomach in. I turn and walk away, only to turn around. Today isn't a great day. I think of changing my clothes. I think of changing my clothes, again. I decide I don't have time to do it. (I don't think about the inner thoughts pervading my head). I get called cute once. I get called cute twice. I have a skip in my step. Hey, this isn't so bad, is it? Some days, I give in to the peer pressure in my head. Some days, I dress in baggy clothes to try and hide my figure. But, some days, some very rare days, I love the way I look.
Context: I needed to wear something not work-related to work, and I thought I looked awful, but I ****** it up due to lack of time. However, a lot of people called me cute and R, a co worker, doubled back to tell me that I looked nice and asked me if there was an occasion. I'm okay with the way I look, but some day I have bad days, and this made me feel better <3.
