Steph, I see what you mean. At 21, you look, not unatttractive, but somehow unfinished. Some of that is probably the glasses, but not all.
Those glasses really *were* hideous leftovers from the 1980s. Heh.
And if I measure my attractiveness by "action", or options for such, I'm definitely much better-looking now than I was at 19. I'm not sure, myself.
Lyra, I think you have the same "unfinished" thing going on at age 20. Because in the older picture, you still have the same lovely face, but you look more like it's the face you're meant to have, if that makes any sense.
Actually, not really. I seem to be stubbornly dragging this moment out far longer than what seems possible.
I can easily see myself posting six months from now complaining about exactly the same thing.
Totally legit. I have (paper) journal entries from my fetal-position phase that can basically be summed up as: "Fuck, I do NOT want to feel this. I would give ANYTHING to not feel this." I get it.
