There are people who make tens and tens and tens of billions, if not trillions of dollars off of my self-hatred of my image.
Makes me want to spite them and not give in.
Makes me want to eat the fucking gelato or do something nice for myself or abstain from any kind of procedure that would be risky for me.
So that's fillers, that's Botox, that's...
injections that I don't personally need.
I don't participate in that.
I don't participate in chemical peels.
I don't participate in threads or anything that could possibly risk my well-being even a centimeter.
There's enough risk in this world just living as a woman.
Just getting from A to B as a woman and hoping someone doesn't break into your home while you're in it.
There's nowhere that's safe.
I'm already living enough risk just sharing the world with men.
I'm already in enough pain just having these fucking periods that never end.
And all the ways in which we're neglected by the medical industry.
I'm not going to go and pay using the money that I earned less on the dollar for than a man for potential discomfort.
There was a woman on the internet, I don't know her name, but she was like, okay, so one day I'm going to grow older and then men won't want to have sex with me anymore.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
And I understood what she was saying.
