manic pixie dream girls is the trope of the girl who lives life freely and teaches others along the way to live in the moment, don’t worry too much about the future, and take this time to Discover who you really are. while the manic pixie dream girl inspires others she herself lacks her own complex story and personal growth.

it’s said that a women’s prime is in their mid 20s, and me being just shy of 26 im starting to get scared i missed it. if this is true i just feel like theres so much more i want to Accomplish. body wise ive never been truly “skinny”. id define skinny as being able to wear Anything without the fear of looking “fat”. im not overweight at all but i still get scared of someone taking a candid picture of me where im not in complete control of how my body is positioned. ive also haven’t had acne clear skin in what feels like forever. again my skin Isn’t bad at all but i would love to just have one moment where i don’t have an active breakout or be healing from one in a Noticeable way. my point is- is this really where i saw myself at this age? maybe its not about how i look on the outside but maybe its where im at in life? i know everyone has their own social clock but how do i overcome this feeling of Cognitive dissonance where im happy and Grateful for all that i have and all ive accomplished while still feeling Unfulfilled and wanting more. maybe it’s time to go to therapy.
