♥ Your mom sounds amazing!

I feel as if I say anything it will just like, UNLEASH THE CRAKEN and I shall never stop. But yeah, I feel you. Body issues have always been a huge part of my life, and even coming to terms with the fact that I had body issues was a really influential experience in my life.

white (this mall is in a nicer area of town and there ARE people of color there, but not nearly as many and of course that’s hugely problematic), looong very straight hair, makeup but not ‘too much,’ femme but not really girly

Yeah. It's such a great thing for fashion diversity that people can shop online, but it ends up being one of those very stark disappearances of women who don't fit this particular femininity presentation. ie, you can only be in public if you are "presentable," but the way to do that is to go to the place where you acquire the tools to become "presentable!"
