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...574Please respect copyright.PENANA06HFFgkcWg
Date Of The Dream: 11/21/2022574Please respect copyright.PENANA2nuDqinHsT
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. 574Please respect copyright.PENANARGqDDkeLJY
They had sparkled just for me. 574Please respect copyright.PENANAaCUr3XASV0
At that time I had been dressed in a simple elegant white dress that flowed out around my legs. 574Please respect copyright.PENANAkhQbm9AwTq
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.574Please respect copyright.PENANAMcNtfcCjIO
So much ice cream. I crouched down and took a macaron in my delicate fingers lifting it to my mouth. 574Please respect copyright.PENANAnBrrCpErNG
Before I could eat I stopped myself. I couldn't risk getting chubby. What would everyone think of me? 574Please respect copyright.PENANArkMDLuvHXh
That's when I noticed the figure.574Please respect copyright.PENANAWdmzgMeAH7
The figure was a dull gray, almost black.574Please respect copyright.PENANAnKepfTW1Qr
Like a shadow... but not quite.574Please respect copyright.PENANARKm3JdsxdF
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. 574Please respect copyright.PENANAuB4fF3pf4b
As the figure neared me, every feature I had ever considered ugly about myself began to become more prominent. 574Please respect copyright.PENANAHfAdBnZIft
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. 574Please respect copyright.PENANAlKeXN4HTeM
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. 574Please respect copyright.PENANAlfNYGykDMh
Little by little I began to look like the girl in the mirror. More confident. 574Please respect copyright.PENANAx5zAGgasMO
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.574Please respect copyright.PENANApQ4ceEyVWL
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...574Please respect copyright.PENANA0tsVDEeT55
574Please respect copyright.PENANAUjNkQEdkVV
(That picnic was so fire though and I really wanted to fricking eat that macaron.)
