• I shave my legs for myself so when I am sleeping naked in bed, they feel smooth against each other: not for you.
• I wear make-up because it enhances my features and gives me a confidence boost: not for you.
• I wear tight jeans, crop tops, skirts and bikinis because I feel good when I pass my reflection: not for you.
• I cut my hair this way because I am unique and I think it looks awesome: not for you.
None of what I do to my body is ever for you. It is for me and my confident self.
Also applies to women. I shave my legs because I like having smooth legs, not because I’m more feminine. (Although I am, BUT THAT’S COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT.
if u have a bad relationship w your mom I’m really sorry I hope u have a nice older sister or stepmom or grandma or aunt or maybe even just a really nurturing best friend bc mom figures are the most important figures in society and if u don’t have a mom figure I’m your mom now
