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...393Please respect copyright.PENANAVNGqoiX5vS
Date Of The Dream: 11/21/2022393Please respect copyright.PENANAslg5uCykDH
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANADYYkoLV9sK
They had sparkled just for me. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAsPffK4KCr2
At that time I had been dressed in a simple elegant white dress that flowed out around my legs. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAblkjyANs2y
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAVo6kElWPlu
So much ice cream. I crouched down and took a macaron in my delicate fingers lifting it to my mouth. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAN67EtLcxnh
Before I could eat I stopped myself. I couldn't risk getting chubby. What would everyone think of me? 393Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Tv29YSl0
That's when I noticed the figure.393Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z26wJp0q0
The figure was a dull gray, almost black.393Please respect copyright.PENANAsatiCV4ZXt
Like a shadow... but not quite.393Please respect copyright.PENANAjaFQ3piJgI
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAyNeV1ZTwfe
As the figure neared me, every feature I had ever considered ugly about myself began to become more prominent. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAibUJ5quz5o
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANApydagbvSe6
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAYZH5LrkscI
Little by little I began to look like the girl in the mirror. More confident. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAKtlJ4ZFZ9C
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA2W8yUBzJvA
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...393Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q51OaLUC9

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