I have had this dream every day ever since my friend called me ugly as a joke. I didn't realize the effect the comment had at first since I don't tend to take things personally, but for some reason, this hit me like a knife...246Please respect copyright.PENANAWdm6TB6QT1
Date Of The Dream: 11/21/2022246Please respect copyright.PENANASnOQw31RII
It was a beautiful dream. I was having a picnic on the moon, staring out at the earth and the stars spread out in front of me. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAHOL8H19tct
They had sparkled just for me. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAQu8Yyj1g4U
At that time I had been dressed in a simple elegant white dress that flowed out around my legs. 246Please respect copyright.PENANANcv6asgu7N
I felt beautiful.
The picnic spread out before I had everything I had ever wanted. Gorgeous cakes decorated with pink frosting, every flavor and color of macarons I could think of, and ice cream.246Please respect copyright.PENANAC6KTJJfgZ7
So much ice cream. I crouched down and took a macaron in my delicate fingers lifting it to my mouth. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAhn7SmVf1b6
Before I could eat I stopped myself. I couldn't risk getting chubby. What would everyone think of me? 246Please respect copyright.PENANAo74Oo5Sv4r
That's when I noticed the figure.246Please respect copyright.PENANA9WsS90LJTj
The figure was a dull gray, almost black.246Please respect copyright.PENANAo706uVQRZ2
Like a shadow... but not quite.246Please respect copyright.PENANAtRHkYsrPJf
This figure constantly shifted around ever so slightly.
After a couple seconds of silence passed the figure began to stand and float toward me. Growing larger and larger. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAdRUkwVnFvv
As the figure neared me, every feature I had ever considered ugly about myself began to become more prominent. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAzeQjM7dGfS
The figure had stopped right in front of me and was towering over me by a good seven feet. It reached out one shaky hand that held a glowing orb. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and it showed my reflection. Nothing changed or was different. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAo4iwBZh6uv
Just me. The way I looked in the mirror. The way I looked at my friends.
I touched the orb and the creature began to shrink. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAK6873lHb2b
Little by little I began to look like the girl in the mirror. More confident. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAeF4YJvBrPI
I was beautiful.
I woke up that morning tired. I went straight to the mirror and looked at myself. I didn't make any comments in my head about how weird my hair looked or how long my arms were.246Please respect copyright.PENANA0jGt3bRUIw
I just stared in the mirror admiring the person I was.
I did that every morning until I could look in the mirror and confidently walk out the door the way I was.
I no longer have that dream...246Please respect copyright.PENANAbXf2jMcY9B

(That picnic was so fire though and I really wanted to fricking eat that macaron.)
