Gorgeous

I sit here full of self-hatred and hating myself for being full of self-hatred.

How can I be this superficial?

I was raised to understand that a woman’s worth lies in her attractiveness above all else.

I hate myself for aging. How stupid is that? As if I should be punished for just not having died for 42 years.
