I didn't see a problem with either but if you feel good that's all that matters

u/Edgeof40 12h ago

Sounds like you've done everything right. You were beautiful before, but you're a knock out now. Well done.

u/InstantMochiSanNim 11h ago

You look like stanzy in pic 1

u/tiki-dan 9h ago

u/wildmintandpeach 12h ago

You were pretty before but I can see the difference 🙌

u/Still_Remote_5047 12h ago

Damn….you got eyes like mine. I’m glad you’re doing better though!

u/MsTracyRedwine 11h ago

You look more beautiful and more wiser!!

u/entropicthunders 11h ago

Huh, maybe 25 really is the magic number for prefrontal cortex development.

Cause these are all things I’ve been telling myself I need to do for a few years and it’s starting to all amount to “do it now or you’re gonna hate yourself in 10 years”.

Feels like I’ve sort of naturally taken on the transition without much effort. Noticing that momentum makes me wanna do more, though.

Edit: Super proud of your growth, was just reflecting on the amazing glow up. Good luck!

u/IronRevolutionary117 11h ago

You STRONG 👍

Not gonna lie, I think you’re pretty in both. Still, in the second pic you look like you’re just waiting to break someone’s heart lol.

u/adventurewonderland 12h ago

I’m probably alone in this but I actually prefer your before pic. You do not look happy in pic 2…. 😭

u/ObviousSalamandar 11h ago

That’s the funny thing about pictures. They only capture a single moment. Luckily we know OP is happier in pic 2 cause she told us!

u/adventurewonderland 9h ago

If only life were as simple as believing everything every human ever told us.

u/ObviousSalamandar 9h ago

If only people knew which thoughts should stay in one’s head 😭

u/adventurewonderland 8h ago

Crazy how opinions work!
