it's amazing what a nice set of clothes can do for your self-image.

when you dress like a slob, you feel like a slob.

and when you dress for success, you feel successful... even when you aren't quite :P

Yeah, it's sort of confusing because I post so many selfies, but I don't really like my appearance. I've been feeling worse and worse about it, and wearing the wrong colors was compounding that.

Feels like I'm taking back control and reversing the rapid decline. A tiny bit. Growing my hair out, getting a paid job, wearing a bit of makeup, working out. Feels Good Man™

I was feeling like I'm 65 years old, rather than 45. I sometimes forget that I'm not that old because almost everyone around me is significantly older and I sort of mentally and physically adjust up. To fit in and not upset people with my appearance.

it's not really confusing. i mean, i can't explain it, but your urge and enjoyment in taking selfies made you look at yourself and make the choices to start changing. to be more yourself than those around you.

kudos on the progress~! keep on keeping on :3
