“why don't you post selfies these days, hikari”

for i do not wish to dignify the notion that the physical form is the true representation of the self

genuinely this is why. i happen to be blessed with a body that i really enjoy inhabiting, but so much as possible, i don't want that particular kind of luck to influence how people perceive me online. it feels cheap. it also levels the playing field for the less fortunate maybe.

there's also an identity-formation aspect though, which is that even if i like what i see in the mirror, i am less myself for seeing it, i've never managed to dissociate from it sufficiently. at times i might even call this painful. the true hikari is two-dimensional i guess

something something a magical girl gains her powers with the henshin

Why did i write that i need to stop doing this to myself
