When I up in the morning, my tongue looks scalloped on the edges from my jaw clenching in my sleep. It's strange to look at. It's stranger now to have learned that I am transforming my face through this anxiety-driven, entirely subconscious habit. By the way, I have a round face too. I think we look lovely. <3

gooped and gagged. i felt like I was sat right next to you in the waiting room tapping my knees w anxiety. beautiful & tangible imagery. Well done!

beautiful writing full of subtle feelings and emotions on a seemingly mundane, simple, day-to-day occurrence, but one that touches deeply on struggles and issues of self-consciousness, fear of being perceived, anxiety, and vanity. saw someone else say your writing reminds them of ottessa moshfegh’s eileen and i wholeheartedly agree. lovely as always <3
