These ideas are subjective to the hour.

Yeah.

And it just feels like such an uphill thing.

And I think as a 12, 13-year-old, yeah, coming to, I think it's coinciding with... Puberty?

Puberty.

You're understanding that the way you exist in the world and how you look externally means something.

Something.

Something.

Everyone will have different inputs into what that means, but, yeah, and it can start to mess with your head a bit.

I don't know if it needs to be, but it feels significant.

Just to clarify.

I think we're so...

I'm going to say we, but I think maybe these things vary from person to person, but there is a sort of shared understanding amongst women or the world that, and this is from, I can see now hundreds of years of input and male dominance and things like that.

Where when you don't have power in the world, the way you look might make a difference.

And that's... So there's a currency.

Yeah.

And when you can start to unpick that, then there's some interesting dissonance that gets to happen in here because you get to...

you know, sometimes go, I want to, sometimes I want to play up to the conformity of our social, like beauty standards at the moment.

That's quite fun.

And then sometimes I want to smash them up, but you need to understand the system so that you can sort of fuck with the system a little bit, I guess.
