There’s a lot of talk about how self esteem shouldn’t be based on looks. And that’s true, to a point. But I’ve discovered that sometimes, how you look—or how you think you look—does make a difference. For example, today I got gussied up a little (yes, okay, for the benefit of The Temp, who isn’t even here today). I think I look good. I think it’s a good outfit. So there’s a part of my brain that’s going, “You look good.” So there’s a bit more confidence in my step. I think I’m starting to look at my clothing a bit more critically. But there’s definitely a part of me that is all about comfort, so don’t expect me to bust out some heels or anything in the near future.
Current song in my head:
