006. And all the people that you hate will love you just the same because you're beautiful

Those of you that have received physical changes from Retrospec, how long did it take before they stopped seeming fundamentally wrong - do they ever, or am I just going to be handling being mentally inconvenienced every time I try to do anything that involves mirrors for the foreseeable future? I admit that I don't have much to complain about, in the scheme of things - especially since I'm not opposed to the results - but apparently I'm going to do so anyway, simply just because such is social media.

Then again, this particular identity crisis is brought to you by the realization that I haven't seen certain members of my family in two years, and if they were to see me now they wouldn't recognize me on immediate sight. So I think I have some right to be at least mildly distressed.

Me? I'm gonna be 16 in, like, a week. Is it important for something?

Are you one of Nelson's kids? At the high school.

[maidofmistakes]

What, Mr. Nelson? I guess so, but that kind of makes it sound like we're related or something.

[drydrown]

Not quite what I meant, but that did technically answer the question.

[maidofmistakes]

I guess it probably is important, then. I mean with all the Retrospec stuff going on and who it affects, right?

[drydrown]

Something like that. Honestly, it's somewhat agitating that they're involving teenagers and children at all.

[maidofmistakes]

I guess so, but I also kind of feel like I can't just hide from it anyway. Or something like that.
