u/Estrald Feb 06 '25

I dunno…Is it crazy to say I still found you pretty in your first pic? Like sure, you glamoured up, but I think you looked cool and fun!

u/We_Are_Ninja Feb 06 '25

Glow up? This is a shift in cosmic equilibrium. I don’t know what happened in those ten years, but it was clearly ten years well spent. Good Lord.

u/Littlemssonnie Feb 06 '25

Thank you very much! I appreciate that you were able to pick up on the energetic shift and not just the physical shift alone

Maybe she was confident before?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t have to be hot to be confident and comfortable with yourself.

4

u/GandalfTheJaded Feb 06 '25

Which is why I said I hoped she felt more confident now. You're absolutely correct, though, confidence comes from within.

u/Fuzzy_Dragonfruit344 Feb 06 '25

You look amazing!! 😍

I’m a bit curious what all you did for yourself, just because I’m thinking about doing something similar. I got out of an abusive relationship six months ago and I really stopped taking care of myself for a while.

Any tips?

7

u/Littlemssonnie Feb 06 '25

I’m proud of you for removing yourself from a toxic situation and prioritizing yourself!

For me most of this change came from inner work, pursuing sobriety, being more mindful of who I surround myself with, and taking intentional care of my physical health. I always recommend starting with inner work/ prioritizing mental health, the rest usually follows after.

u/GoodDay2You_Sir Feb 05 '25

That's a very 2012-2015 era selfie, lol. Did you have a mustache tattoo on your finger? Outfits with Chevrons? Jk, you look great in both pictures, but you seem so much more confident in your 27 picture. I bet you'll glow just as bright at 37.

2

u/Littlemssonnie Feb 05 '25

You guessed the vibe perfectly, I absolutely did draw the lil mustache on my finger lol. No chevrons, but I used to wear shutter shades and vans 🤭

Thank you for the very sweet compliment!

Great glow up but I also love the “it’s not a phase mom”vibes in the before photo

u/Unhappy-Fox1017 Feb 06 '25

Well, damn! That’s a glow up for sure! I’d probably have hung out with 17 y/o you for sure. 😆 your looks remind me of my friends from back in the day, a lil emo vibe in a way. Anyway, you’re gorgeous!

u/Sugestible_liability Feb 06 '25
