I had always had a big bust and long, skinny legs — at one time I had wanted to chop a bit off them — and in my netball shorts at school I looked gangly. I always felt top-heavy. But one day at school we were lying around reading and a girl called Paula said, "Your eyes are the color of cornflowers." I thought, How lovely. What a nice thing to say.
I didn't have overweening self-confidence, and I don't think any model did. I was flattered when people said or wrote nice things about me, but I saw beautiful girls every day and, compared with people like Jean Shrimpton, I felt I was way down the pecking order. That is the negative side of modeling. You have to look really good to get the jobs, so you put yourself into a situation that feeds your insecurities. If you don't get a job, you think it's because you're not pretty enough. It allows you — in fact, it forces you — to concentrate on your flaws, and that's destructive.

There was something kinda freeing abt being in the hipster-type bucket in 2011 bc no one asked what genres your favorite artists were (also...you didn't have any good answers lol.... 'bog water?' 'tired grass??' 'country as well'). Spotify flooded the ecosystem w sub-genres and it was better when I couldn't put my finger on a sound. Anyway. If spotify is going to tell me a band is stomp and holler mountain music, it better be.

Oh Diavolo another friggin 20-day 2-part celestial blessing event. With fancy outfits and good cards that I have no choice but to partake in…
I’m kind of getting sick of all these long CB events like… for HDD or any other special events are maybe fine, infact it was fun during then, but 3 in a row? They’re just so draining and now they’re purposely repeatedly bringing these events over and over, because to rank near to the top or stay at your consistent place you must pull on both nightmares, and use up extra devil points for enough AP to complete all stages. They’ve realised that players use more DP with these events and will spend more because of that.
I’m debating weather I should now but I really like the cards and all…
Yk what in the end it’s a game and that’s what they want me to do, drop everything for this and pressure me into paying, so instead of taking stress I might as well leave it for the better, gosh being a f2p on this game can be very life draining…
Me when I found out it was another long CB event:
