There comes a time in every girl's life when she wonders

Don't do it. Just see a professional, phone a friend.

*dramatic sound effects that increases in intensity*

Obviously these are very conflicting feelings  and you might wonder

How could anyone possibly feel  these two extremes back-to-back?

Well, I had the same question.  So I did what any one of us would do

And I was surprised to find this gem of an article.

If you have time, you should read it because not only is it hilarious

but it felt like I was reading a play-by-play  of what I had just gone through then

So I group texted a bunch of my friends to see if they sometimes felt this way and they all said

My dysmorphia is usually fat and strange-looking to sexy badass

I can just hear my mom's voice in my head saying,  "Girls like us are an acquired taste."

Oh, I have more I'm a mole person days than  gorgeous days

Why do we oscillate between these feelings?  Why do we feel things?

And so I was just like relentlessly searching the internet

Specifically for women, that I found super fascinating

Because of our hormones during this time, our faces and our voices will actually change

And reach peak attractiveness to the opposite sex when we are our most fertile.

The men can sense that your estradiol levels are high

Or your progesterone levels are simultaneously low

Which is late in the follicular phase,  near ovulation when fertility is highest.

Which means my body already thinks it's eggo is prego

So this explanation felt like it didn't apply to the swinging pendulum of perception of my own face

So after a lot of googling, I realized it can only be

Sometimes you look good.  Sometimes you look terrible

Our reflections are not objective, right?

We're seeing them through the lens of whatever our current mind state is

The arrogance of beauty or the sadness of hideousness

Hmm. What is going on internally that is making me  feel this way?

And if I feel good,  and therefore see myself as good, great!

And if I feel terrible and see myself as terrible,

Well, how can I emotionally adjust so that I'm not repulsed by my own reflection?

Thank you to Audible for sponsoring today's episode

I am very excited to recommend an  absolutely remarkable book today

Sometimes more, depending on LA traffic and how often I'll face my overflowing laundry

But in 2018, my favorite book without a doubt was Hank Green's

Sci-fi and accurately represents the moral struggles of being a digital personality
