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...343Please respect copyright.PENANAbBnVkqm9tk
Date Of The Dream: 11/21/2022343Please respect copyright.PENANAVqQMVkNcdT
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. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAkrRAFgvRnX
They had sparkled just for me. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAF3gYoA8H5c
At that time I had been dressed in a simple elegant white dress that flowed out around my legs. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAVY9RArEHMO
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.343Please respect copyright.PENANAHBQagJadWi
So much ice cream. I crouched down and took a macaron in my delicate fingers lifting it to my mouth. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAjz5u7BVjq6
Before I could eat I stopped myself. I couldn't risk getting chubby. What would everyone think of me? 343Please respect copyright.PENANAkmBcmkgNau
That's when I noticed the figure.343Please respect copyright.PENANA5eouUrywmv
The figure was a dull gray, almost black.343Please respect copyright.PENANAGX4xoAZrdA
Like a shadow... but not quite.343Please respect copyright.PENANABywrxtlCCD
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. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAmVbUSuc18q
As the figure neared me, every feature I had ever considered ugly about myself began to become more prominent. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAQHAy3xb4Ub
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. 343Please respect copyright.PENANA5GkhEpz0jT
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. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAdrdRAxY4E6
Little by little I began to look like the girl in the mirror. More confident. 343Please respect copyright.PENANAdW7habmKbI
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.343Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZFSxOK2OY
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...343Please respect copyright.PENANAqPRH1mRtTa
343Please respect copyright.PENANAFTPyFxCx0i
(That picnic was so fire though and I really wanted to fricking eat that macaron.)
