    My girl was like that, but consistency goes a long way!

    She still sometimes thinks of herself as ugly and undeserving (she’s a fuckin’ goddess, wtf), but she accepted that she is genuinely and passionately loved.

    Still weirds her out, though.

      Women have some serious shit doled out at them about standards of beauty. I remember one girlfriend I had was very conscious about her skin not being perfect. She was a beautiful woman, great personality, a lot of fun - but was nervous because her skin wasn’t perfect. (We split because I had to move away to start my career, and she wanted kids, while I didn’t - so there wasn’t much point in continuing a long distance relationship.)
