LavenderGhost, hi. People can be cruel, attacking that which we are most sensitive to, it’s one of the ugly things about society. So focused and obsessed about appearances that the facade of the soul carries more importance than the truth within it.
People are conditioned in this way, I too am a product of this conditioning and with shame, perpetuate these ideals to some degree.
I understand that the value of a person does not rely on appearance or achievement, but that exact idea has been hammered into my head from outside forces since the first day I can remember. I am sorry that the world is organized in this way, I’m sorry for my sometimes shallow nature, I’m sorry that you are judged for something you have no control over but most of all I’m sorry that I do not know what to say in order to bring you any relief from your sorrows.
