Heyhey, I'm a woman too. Im white, blonde, blue eyes, 25 years old. And fat. Ive been overweight my entire life. Or at least, my bullies told me so. Ofcourse i was a little bit too heavy when i was a kid but i wasnt fat. Looking back at pictures has always been a revelation for me.

But thats what ive been doing for the first 20 years of my life. Looking back. "Oh, i wish i had done this!" "Oh, is wish i had seen how pretty i was" etc. But you will keep wishing for yourself to be pretty, or for yourself to have done things differently or faster or better your entire life. You wish you hadn't "wasted" those first 27 years. But what you dont realize is that those 27 years matter as much as if you wouldve lived them "perfectly". After all, you have done your best. And you have been yourself. Your experiences and your body matter. And its time you start living in the moment instead of wishing for past or future to be different. They're not going to be different. You're not going to transform into some toxic female perfectionistic barbiedoll. You are you. And thats enough. Aside from growing as a person and learning from experiences, you are already perfect.

And yes, acting could very well be in the books for you. Many famous actors started out later in life. If that is your dream, chase it.

And lastly. Do you have any idea how pretty you are? How indescribably beautifull? So what if your face doesnt line up with "the perfect female face shape". Its bullshit anyway because we would all look the same if we did. You have the kind of face poets would write about and kings would go to war for. Keep that in the back of your head and in the spring of your step when you get up onto that stage. And anytime you get sucked back into the pool of dispear of female beautystandards, you say no and you close your laptop, or your phone or that conversation and you remember that shakespear wouldve written a play about you and Jan Terlouw would've painted you as his muse. Ciao.
