soft jaw

Embracing Change with Compassion

I used to love my jawline, but with medication causing weight gain and aging taking its toll, I’ve developed a softer jaw that makes me self-conscious. I sometimes romanticize my younger self, thinking I was more beautiful back then, but the truth is, I lacked the confidence I have now.

While I’m frustrated by the physical changes, I remind myself that prioritizing my mental health was the right choice. If I could tell someone else going through the same thing, I’d say: You are beautiful. True beauty comes from how you treat others, not how you look.

Embracing my softer jawline is a step toward accepting the person I am now—inside and out.
