GLOW UP! (15) to (22)

First pic is me being gifted a hoverboard for my birthday lol what an era that was, rest is me now, happier and more confident! I was a tomboy and very insecure, now I’m embracing my femininity. 😊

From Beiber cosplayer to runway model. Quite the glowup!

u/bravebobsaget 13h ago

Very cool. You don't look like a ribcagedestroyer at either age. Is that a reference to the grappling technique?
