Are you content with who you are as a person? How you look and dress? If not, what do you wish to change?

During college I struggled a lot with my physical appearance as I suffered from cystic acne. It really fucks up your self confidence. Once I discovered the root issue and got better along with getting braces, my self confidence skyrocketed. I finally felt like I was near my fullest potential. I also been learning to cook more, I like how it can be therapeutic for me. I think it’s always great to derive contentment from basic life skills. I just wish I could make myself addicted to working out. I’m also waiting until my 30s to get full body laser and Lasik.

Self love should be above all!

Yeah I love myself. I guess. I don't know if I felt that way as a teenager in high school because I was so skinny and looked like an ugly nerdy rock star with long hair. Right now I wish I can change my lips. Their big. And I don't want to go through lip reduction through surgery.

I’d love to meet someone who was content with themselves back then. I went through a weird emo phase in middle/high school myself. Big lips are in tho! :p Kylie Jenner became the youngest billionaire over it..

Then you'll love to meet my Gemini sister who is very content with herself during her high school days. And for good reasons too. She was pretty and now as a full grown adult she's drop dead gorgeous.

If becoming a billionaire require to have lips as big as mines, I'd rather keep my mask on.

Pretty happy with myself overall, but it wasnt always like that, I had to learn to like myself. keep up with the hard work and it will pay off! At the moment, I'd like to learn the 20 pounds I've gained in the last several years.

It's foolish, unconscious, irresponsible and quite dangerous not to... 😔

This reminds of something Charlie Chaplin used to say...

"The mirror is my best friend, because when I cry... it never laughs." 😞

No, I am never satisfied. Never. This is a bad mental state...but it's just the way I'm wired...Maybe because of my Sun-Moon combo?

Well I couldn't think of a better song for you than this, and I'm fairly sure both your sun and your moon will appreciate it, but for vastly different reasons.

Yeah. I have always loved myself even when I looked bad. I like to say I was born with the confidence of an average white guy.

Yes I love the skin I'm in!

I swam and played polo in hs and spent more time in a suit then clothes. Got very comfortable with my body. I feel incredibly strong in the pool and grateful for this shell. Working out aka swimming for me is not really about losing weight or changing my body shape, its more about the mental benefits and energy for me.

Sure everyone has insecurities, its hard not to with media and marketing constantly telling you there is something wrong with you that you can fix if you buy this product or service. If everyone was content with themselves how would they get your $ $ $ ?

To quote Brad Pitt in Troy 😂 😂

You will never be as young or beautiful as you are rn, in this moment.

Nah uh missy! My rising, sun, moon, mercury, and mars are all in fixed signs and they all square and oppose each other. It’s probably just that kittens cap energy :p

How do you protect your hair when doing all that swimming?
