It's the first time I read about body odors. I genuinely thought I was the only one with this problem, I feel so mortified everytime my body starts smelling for apparently no reason. Reading this felt so freeing, I loved it
“One of whom I was totally, completely, delusionally in love with.” - had the same vibes as “I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.” Bella Swan approved!
Oof, the high school mile. I actually passed out during that run, I went full noodle. Now I can have a big laugh about it, but back then it was mortifying. Loved reading this. Self acceptance is it.
thank you for this, I cackled too loudly in the cafeteria at the one or the other fun twist in your words and am now filling my journal with musings about my own smell...
Oh friend, I relate so much. Just wrote about my stink too. We must swap stories. I find that it helps to bask in it with fellow stinkers, which are difficult to unearth but we are here.
Thank you for showing yourself like this. I’ve been following you on Insta for a while now, today you words about those velvet green pants made me want to know more about you, so I got here. I’m glad I did.
It’s very helpful finding someone who’s not afraid to show their true self.
This spoke to me, I used to worry about my sweat SO much. I distinctly remember sitting in dance class freshman year of high school, first day, sweat a literal puddle on the floor around me and my friend accidentally put her hand in it. She immediately recoiled and I pretended I was equally grossed out while silently hoping she wouldn’t figure out it was me. Looking back she could probably tell…
I’m all for letting your body smell however it’s gonna smell but if you feel like giving deodorant or deodorant-adjacent a try again, I swear by Nuud!!
Was consistently in 3 sports at the same time since the age of four. They don't tell you before puberty as a student athlete (athlete student) that after practice during a school day there's no shower, no time to change or spread a ridiculous amount of Dove cucumber deodorant all over your armpits and the back of your knees (tried it, don't recommend). This was lovely in its honesty. Stinky women unite.
The things we carry from high school 😒 There’s a title for a best seller!!! I was a skinny WHITE girl with super frizzy red hair. I can remember someone saying I was ugly. It stuck. Now as an adult woman every time I look in the mirror those words threaten to ruin my view of the woman I’ve become. Still skinny, still crazy red hair but embracing it as best I can.

AS INTENDED. So glad you get me.

Nostalgia is the enemy of self-esteem: this is so true

Your writing style blows my mind, I wish I could articulate myself so amazingly keep it up this is very vulnerable and real
You write so well, I really felt for that young “high school mile you.” The way a comment could just shatter us. F*ck.

Ugh. Being at peace with the stink is definitely part of my 10-step-path to being okay with having a body!!
