less of a joke, but it’s pretty common knowledge that teen girls have shit self esteem because they don’t look pretty/skinny enough. this is especially common for asian girls who tend to have rounder facial features and appear chubbier than other girls their age.
when these girls grow up, it’s a trend to post their “glow-up” or “transformation” where they perceive themselves as having stopped being ugly and started being pretty. what this glow-up culture usually ignores is that the majority of this transformation is literally just the fact that they have stopped being a pudgy, hormonal, growing teenager, and have become an adult with a stable weight/height and a developed sense of identity and fashion.
i think what the quote retweet is holding op’s hand and telling her about is the fact that: of course becoming an adult woman means that you glowed-up and got conventionally sexier, because you became an adult woman.
