I wish I had friends nearby to help encourage me to get dressed up all fancy for my second cousin’s quinceañera—that sounds so impersonal—more like my niece

I started to paint my nails but the quality looks god awful, 
— im giving up and going with minimal effort to my appearance. i feel like shit 😞

Sending lots of virtual hugs and kisses

I wish I was there to motivate you and give you the extra boost, but I can only support you from here. Just look good and decent for yourself. Go and have fun, say hi, then when you have greeted the few you can, head back home.

Also, what’s weighing on your mind?

I did go, not without more hiccups along the way. but i was there and I was helpful with the kids and I am usually a comfort for my cousin who was hosting so i helped her with a few things too when i got there.

Oh, sorry for the late reply, did you go in the end?

Perfection and being and looking a certain way when interacting with family and friends
