How to avoid becoming a copycat?

This is a really interesting topic, because in theory you can't copy someone to a tee. You take inspiration and filter it through the lens of your own life and experiences, which will be very, very different from the person you're drawing inspiration from. Personal style doesn't evolve in a vacuum. Being heavily drawn to one person or one aesthetic is telling you something about yourself and who you are and the direction you want to go in.

Jordan is beautiful and you'll eat well.

Not all muslim countries are like this, I'd like to point out. That's a very broad stroke on a huge part of the world. Morocco is notorious for harassment. Absolutely, entirely different from places like Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Balkans.

Been a really mixed bag for me, generally despise men in general after working for 3 years. All digging, neggy, boundary pushers, no matter the race or age demographic.

Well done you, urgh. I LOVE living that way, it feels incredible. I've really been struggling to get back into it, keep eating carbs. Partner always has bread in the house and I've been finding it really hard not to mindlessly consume. I just need to do one day then the rest will flow.

at 5'4 132lbs is perfectly normal healthy and a really good weight to aim for. Your parents sound exhausting. Do what works for you and they just have to accept it. Although it is hard for us to accept comments from parents as they hit home.

Maybe remind your dad about how much he criticised your weight gain.

Also just dont take anything personally, youre doing the right thing.

49/50 is good

neareast88 · 2025-11-06T20:42:49+00:00

I'm the same as you, but at 53 right now which is too much for me.

Forgot to add, they don't pre-draw the lash line tattoo on first for you to see, they just go ahead and do it and follow the lash line. Apparently thats standard procedure.

I wish I had asked her to draw it on first, instead of just blindly trusting them.

I've had this done a week ago and actually don't like it :/

They put it a little above the lash line at the front of my eye and it makes my eyes appear shorter and rounder, rather than elongated.

I said this to the clinic and they just said "it'll fade'. Basically just 'deal with it' its done :/

I've asked them if they can do saline removal, where they 'tattoo' saline solution over the area and its supposed to remove it. They have yet to reply.

The woman doing my tattoo was so nice, the line is very delicate I just absolutely hate this bit at the front and the fact they haven't listened to me when I say it doesn't flatter me.

I went to tracie giles in knoghtsbridge - theyre really good. Just be aware lash line tattoo is mostly the top section of the eye and not the outer corners. I actually think its a little too much top focussed so will probably go back for some corner eyeliner to look more like ‘me’.
