im a fully stacked 5 layer cake filled with icing and candy flowers on top. i feel so fulfilled as a person and i can only add more layers and decorative icing with the experiences i go through. i never felt like i needed a partner but they should just be the little partner on the top of my cake next to my figure to make me happy and loved. the cake is still me but i need them to have their own cake with me on top too :)
I think my cake center is still too moist and uncooked, while my outside is done. So I’m starting from scratch. I used to think that other people were my icing. I’m working on fixing those parts of myself that I ignored for so long. Those ingredients that made me whole can only be created and worked on by me. I don’t need anyone else to complete me. Only I fix myself.
Hey Amy, just wanted to let you know that you are so much more full and whole than you may realize. Not to invalidate the emptiness you're feeling, as I think it is wise to take a step back from dating to build yourself up some more. But you don't have to feel 100% strong and 'together' to love someone and to let someone love you. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT YOU ELOQUENT DOWN TO EARTH BABE QUEEN, sending love and good vibes love ya
ALSO: an AM with Amy request of mine would be about FOMO in friendship. I used to be so easy going but often find myself struggling with the idea of missing out on precious memories with friends (in a group) these days...love your philosophical topics as always! xx
Your cake analogy was soo spot on!! At the moment im the batter but at the end of 2019 i will be a whole 2 tear chocolate cake with frosting and sprinkles and candles (my birthday 30th Dec) and I’ll be ready to be delivered xx
I feel like I've gone through so many cake "stages" lol. I've been a smushed, stepped on cake. I've been a three tier wedding cake. I've been the cake that's pretty on the outside but sad, tasteless and undercooked on the inside. Now I feel like I'm tweaking and re-working the recipe. But I'm scared I'll never be the cake I want to be. I see healing as a life long process; I may "heal" from one thing, but because life goes on something else may show itself from within us, or pain and trauma will always happen and effect us in different ways. So I'm thinking I may never be the cake I want to be, but I'll be whole because I'm willing and learning to accept ALL of the slices of myself lol, regardless of all the things I think make me unlovable or broken.
Sometimes I feel like you have so much love to give that it just can’t be contained to one person. I’m so grateful to be on the receiving end (sometimes.)
I LOVE the cake analogy! I've always loved this phrase about how the person you meet should be the icing on your cake - meaning they add a lil' special something to your life but they don't make up the whole cake of your existence if that made sense? That being said, my cake is an architectural drawing of one that doesn't even exist yet lol. I've only started dating for the first time this year in my early 20's and dating several people made me face a lot of the issues I've kept under the rug throughout my childhood - issues relating to self-love, self-worth, warped ideas of relationships due to my upbringing, making 2018 a wild mess haha.. but I see it as a year of foundation, re-building my sense of who I am and what I need vs want. thank you for these awesome personal videos amy, and here's to an amazing 2019!!
I've been following you for years but i'm not usually the type to write comments. You're so inspiring and the advice you give is always so well-thought-out and articulated. I love how real you are! Keep going, you're doing an amazing job! Happy holidays!❤❤❤
I can sooo relate to taking time to heal. I went through a breakup almost 9 months ago that was super hard on me. The breakup was definitely meant to happen but my brain (apparently) wants to take its sweet time healing! I’m trying to respect that process rather than being frustrating that I’m still not ready to see anyone else. Just staying optimistic that all this down time is worth it and that good things are on their way☺️✌🏻
amy you've grown so much! you should rewatch your old videos and review how far you have come girl. im proud of you and your healing journey x sending love always
You’re one of the realest youtubers I’ve seen and your content helps me so much! Just something positive and honest to listen to while I work like a mindless job. Youre great chica 💜
I resonate with the last things u said a lot, Amy! gotta be ur best unapologetic and careless self as possible is the motto I try to live by these days, since we tend to overthink ourselves so much. Love you!! we only need to be the cake we find most appetising ourselves
I completely relate to what you described as a tendency to be negative. Over the past few months, I've struggled with seeing things in a positive light, as I always tend to do the opposite. It's something I've been trying to work on because I think I would get a lot more out of my experiences by looking at the bright side of them. Hearing you talk about it is inspiring; in the past, I felt like others didn't truly understand what I was feeling when I tried explaining it to them, but every word you said resonated with me. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Amy~ I always love listening to your insights and perspective on life! I totally agree that life is about love- receiving and giving love. I can't help but ponder on the cake analogy-- in my opinion, I don't think anyone is a full cake or even has the capability of becoming a full cake by one's own will. Instead, I believe that we are all in the process of becoming a full cake! I see it as if we each have our own preparation process, and it is during those steps of learning about our identity that prompts the realization that we need to surrender ourselves to the plans of the baker! We are all simply mere recipes, so how can we expect to be a full cake with our own strength? Only the baker has full sovereign capacity and control. & that's the end of my spiel! Amy, I just want to encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts, but I also would like to challenge you to look into the Christian faith which is about gaining a personal relationship with the ultimate baker--God--through placing our faith and trust in His son, Jesus.
Low key stopped paying attention to your advice cos now all I'm thinking about is cake... Lol! PS Your hair always looks so immaculate, share your tips please!
Btw Amy! I love your AMs with Amy so much! Never stop hitting us with your wise words because I can really relate to you so much! Never feel like your mind is a prison because it has definitely helped you grow so much and allowed u to speak up about human emotions and issues that people don’t often talk about!❤️🌟
Feel like I'm not even a cake but more of a lumpy loaf haha please never stop the AM with Amy's even if they are very infrequent, you're one of the few you tubers I watch because you're so genuine and aren't afraid to talk about things with substance
wow girl! as a fellow full cake who dated all year because she felt that she needed to only to realize its okay to be a full cake on your own, i relate to this sooooo much and its so refreshing and comforting to know im not alone in that feeling!
I like that analogy! I’m in my early 30’s and it feels like the process to be a full cake is a never ending journey! How and when can you be a full cake? 🎂 🥺
I think my cake looks okay but the base is wobbly and crumbling. My mental health took a huge tumble during the year and the cracks are still there. I'm hoping to start over in 2019 and build in my mental health issues with me and close the cracks.
Thank you so much for another great video!! Right now I'm working on new cake batter because for a long time I've been living a life of worry and fear but I want to start living my life to the fullest.
I think the mentality of feeling like you need a partner/lover partially comes from the external environment and less from our internal needs. The environment where most people are dating/in love with someone else makes us think we should do the same so that we can prove that we deserve/are entitled to what everyone else is having. I know I shouldn't be stuck at this dilemma but it just keeps popping up lol....and also to present yourself to some strangers in the dating software for validation of your self worth is just so toxic. but anyways your sharing of the thoughts totally makes me feel less alone. Thank you Amy:)!
this was awesome, and i understand the cake analogy! im in the same boat where ive stopped seeing someone and not dating for now, cuz theres so much healing to be done and i only feel like im half a cake lol but this was so great to watch/hear!
OMG yes !!! The cake I can relate soooo much I’m 70% cake at the moment, my friends keep persuading me to talk to or date people again but I keep thinking I’m not done trying to be ready/whole yet ??? The cake analogy just summarised my life lolllll
i feel like im a half cake! i feel like im getting there into a full cake but it really does take a lot of time to do. i wish that in 2019, we all finally will develop into full, decorated, and delicious cakes!! happy new year, amy 💜
I love hearing your advice. I feel like a lot of it helps me chill out and enjoy life for what it is, if that makes sense. But I'm definitely a big bowl of batter right now especially since I'm going to be on my own this upcoming year because of college. I think the whole experience is bound to spice me up a bit with confidence and a new outlook on life.
Happy holidays Amy! Hope you feel better soon 😊 love your The AM with Amy videos. I always watch your old videos when I’m feeling lost or need a good dose of reality 😂💕
I am definitely an almost full cake in my life. Not there yet with the icing because I still have personal goals I have to achieve. After being a single for a whole, fruitful year, exploring different people n definitely myself, I finally learnt that I can become my own person with so much love and compassion to give that I’ve been mistakenly taken advantage of for my kindness. But for that, I have forgiven people because no one owes anyone anything. Buttt it almost gave me the new realisation that as much as I’ve unrevealed all my layers and come to terms with my demons and what hurts throughout my growing up and life, I have serious doubts and mistrust in people, love and relationships and that’s something I will gradually work on slowly, not forcing anything but definitely need to focus on my other more significant goals in my life🤘🏼
Girl watch Daniel Sloss's Netflix special - episode 2: Jigsaw. His jigsaw analogy on relationships was so, so great!! What you said in this video reminded me a lot of what he talked about.. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
I rarely comment on your videos - but aaaah I just really wanted to say THANK U for creating videos and sharing your life with us! I love your videos so so much, they always radiate so much good energy and I feel so fulfilled watching them! I hope you have enjoyed 2018, can't wait to see what next year has in store for you!! :)
I think the expectation that we have to present ourselves as "full cakes" is sometimes impossible. I think anyone, in any stage of life, is healing or a little broken. I do agree that the more experience you've had the more icing you may have on the cake and so it makes it easier to go into a relationship acknowledging your own brokenness. I think love is sometimes about accepting another person's cake, however imperfect it is. Just some thoughts. Appreciate your talks!
Happy new year Amy!! I know this is random but have you thought of reviewing tv shows or movies and putting out content in analyzing them? I just finished the series the haunting of hill house and it made me think of how amazing it would be if you were to analyze and pick at what certain themes there were in it etc because you are such a thoughtful soul. Just a suggestion. Love all your content and keep it up! :)
been spending the years leading up to 2018 working on my recipe. 2018 itself was all about testing it out, trying to stick to it while also being open to improvements. 2019 we’re baking the cake, spending time and energy on the cake, the time and energy I’ve invested so greatly in others, we’re taking all that, mixing it into the icing and I think I’m going too far w this analogy but you know. lol. we’re getting there.
Honestly same!.. don’t think I’m near being a full cake but I think the ‘want’ of becoming a full cake is just as important because the first few steps also matter
Immma full cake that needs to be cooled off a bit before decorating. I also took a break from dating to just focus on myself. And it’s probably been the best decision I’ve ever made. I gave myself two semesters (but I kind of started in summer) to lay a foundation for a better ‘self’ in the long run because I believe healing and working on yourself is a life journey.....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING :) Nice to know that I’m not the only one that thinks like this or is doing this haha
Amy, I am glad you explained that you didn't design any of your collection. Many of the commentators thought different. I still think you should address this in another video with more transparency, not in the middle of this video. Not everyone knows what it means to curate a collection. Some of the viewers only wanted to buy because they thought you were the designer. If you read all the comments from that video you will understand what I am talking about. The title is also deceiving since it is basically a "lookbook" ad for your store and trying to sell products to your viewers. Jen addressed all the issues with her last collection in a video and answered questions from her viewers' comments which was really appreciated. I don't have any problem with you using your platform to sell products but it needs to be made very clear to your young viewers.
@@amy_lee You are a lovely young lady with great style and talent with young viewers who adore you. I am a parent with daughters in college and older kids. You have to be careful how you represent yourself on your platform to these young viewers. My advice before you make a new video is to read all the comments and write a list so you can address all the questions asked about your collection. I did read them all before commenting on that video. You can message me if you have any questions. P.S., I still want to know if you came up with all the product names?
You're a wise chic. Be selfish, don't exchange energy with anyone that can suck you dry. But yes be open to love and continue to be in your good place. Plus you've got amazing lovely hair!
Great cake analogy! I also feel like a cake that misses the decoration... I've been on a view tinder dates lately, but it really takes a lot of energy and unfortunatley i havent really met anyone that I genuinely like... I think its quite difficult to meet and conect with new people in the "real" world.
All of your instagram story posts have resonated with me so much...currently a mushed up, blasted, crumbly, nothing cake and trying to bake a whole new one in 2019 *sigh*
I'm more of a cake in the oven. I'm going to school and i've got a supportive family system and a small support friend system, i love myself for who i am and really enjoy me time but for some reason i am stuck and always focused on getting a boyfriend even though deep down i know i don't need one and that at my current state mentally i don't really need that in my life. I think it may have to do with me never being able to date before and i might be trying to make up for lost time now that i'm 20 and being told if i don't date now then i'm a lost cause for the future. I'm trying to work on getting rid of this mindset and move on in my life just enjoy time with my friends and enjoy being alone.
duuude i paused half way. im definitely becoming a full cake but i keep struggling to accept that i am. im very ambitious and always striving so it's like i never accept that i have everything i need at the present moment. i always think i could use more baking when really im in danger of being overcooked! this made me realise firmly, i need to get out the oven and let myself get decorated in icing and edible flowers.
ceedling has a good video on the idea of needing to be whole or loving yourself first (The Problems with "You Can't Love Somebody Else Until You Love Yourself") highly recommenced as a contrasting opinion to this one
omggg that dude who sent you those messages-- "WHO HURT YOU??" LMAO seriously though, who hurt him xD Always adore your AMwithAmy's! But I am a full cake in the sense that the foundation, or the cakes themselves, are stacked nicely, it just lacks the frosting, fondant, and the toppings ya know? lol Hope you feel better!~
I love this analogy! I always disliked the idea of two halves make a whole, like people saying their partner is their “better half.” I agree with you that everyone should be their whole person and not rely on someone else to make them whole.
I think I have created a new batter. My relationship ended begin November and I’m still recovering although I think I have healed so so much this past month. I didn’t realise the problems I ignored until I got out of the relationship and it has been good to deal with them on my own and seeing improvement everyday. That’s the thing with being an empath: you try to keep your s. other blissfully happy while you yourself fade slowly into the background. I have learned that I should never value myself less than someone else. I still miss him everyday but I’m genuinely happy and present again.
Amy, would you be able to share with your viewers the names of the designers who produced the clothes you've curated? This information would be really helpful, as I know I'm speaking for many people when I say I'd like to be more informed about where my purchases are coming from. Thanks!
I love this cake analogy! For the most part I’m a fully cooked/done cake. Is there room for more icing or for the icing to be smoothed over? Yeah. But for the most part, I’m a nice cake. But then again I’m old af so I’ve had time to get cooked lol. Where is your scrunchie from??? I would love to get stuff from your capsule except I’m plus size so none of it fits me 🤷🏻♀️
Im so curious as to what MB personality type you are! Not that theyre all that accurate but I feel like I click and share so many thoughts with you and that we might be of the same type- or at least category? (Im an ENFP)
Amy, if you haven't read 'Everything I know About Love' by Dolly Alderton, i think you'll love it! ❤️ PS: your videos are the greatest, and keep at it with the cake. You are bound to be some magnificent scrumptious delectable masterpiece one day soon!! 💕💕
I love cake so I love the cake analogy! This has come at an interesting time in my life. Instead of a cake analogy of myself I wanna the it on my life - I feel like my life is a perfect beautiful vanilla cake with strawberries on top. But I feel like it’s not quite me. I feel like I’m not the dark chocolate ganache cake with gold leaf decorations that comes with a side of berry coulis. Would you change something that seems so logically perfect on paper, leave stability, take a risk and change your personal life completely based on gut feel?
I would say I’m an almost full cake, with the first layer of icing done but the details not completely finished. I recently just got out of a relationship with someone that was a smushed cake but currently a partial cake. But I feel you on the need to fill a hole, which was why I was in a relationship with that person.
I feel like I'm a nice simple, rustic, imperfect cake. Pretty much done, but can still be improved. I'm still in the box tho, guarded, and not yet ready to be enjoyed by another full cake because of my trust issues. Still working on learning to trust and take risks again.
What do you do if you had managed to (almost) be a complete and full cake, but then the holidays came and spending time with family destroyed your beautiful energy? (Cause they love you but they're kinda toxic at the same time)
I'm a nice new york style cheesecake with a strawberry on top. I just need a nice glass case to protect myself. Thank you for blessing the internet once again!
are you a full cake? half-eaten cake? smashed cake? baking in the oven?
Lmao I’m a cheesecake, Bc I’m cheesy :3
Smashed cake 🙄
needing that frosting : )
smashed cake
im a fully stacked 5 layer cake filled with icing and candy flowers on top. i feel so fulfilled as a person and i can only add more layers and decorative icing with the experiences i go through. i never felt like i needed a partner but they should just be the little partner on the top of my cake next to my figure to make me happy and loved. the cake is still me but i need them to have their own cake with me on top too :)
I think my cake center is still too moist and uncooked, while my outside is done. So I’m starting from scratch. I used to think that other people were my icing. I’m working on fixing those parts of myself that I ignored for so long. Those ingredients that made me whole can only be created and worked on by me. I don’t need anyone else to complete me. Only I fix myself.
i'm obsessed with your content! you're amazing
Hey Amy, just wanted to let you know that you are so much more full and whole than you may realize. Not to invalidate the emptiness you're feeling, as I think it is wise to take a step back from dating to build yourself up some more. But you don't have to feel 100% strong and 'together' to love someone and to let someone love you.

I think the expectation that we have to present ourselves as "full cakes" is sometimes impossible. I think anyone, in any stage of life, is healing or a little broken. I do agree that the more experience you've had the more icing you may have on the cake and so it makes it easier to go into a relationship acknowledging your own brokenness. I think love is sometimes about accepting another person's cake, however imperfect it is. Just some thoughts. Appreciate your talks!
Happy new year Amy!! I know this is random but have you thought of reviewing tv shows or movies and putting out content in analyzing them? I just finished the series the haunting of hill house and it made me think of how amazing it would be if you were to analyze and pick at what certain themes there were in it etc because you are such a thoughtful soul. Just a suggestion. Love all your content and keep it up! :)
been spending the years leading up to 2018 working on my recipe. 2018 itself was all about testing it out, trying to stick to it while also being open to improvements. 2019 we’re baking the cake, spending time and energy on the cake, the time and energy I’ve invested so greatly in others, we’re taking all that, mixing it into the icing and I think I’m going too far w this analogy but you know. lol. we’re getting there.
im two eggs and some flour on a counter lol but im 19 and reading the cookbook i'll get there love you amy
can you tell im a melodramatic aries lmFao
Honestly same!.. don’t think I’m near being a full cake but I think the ‘want’ of becoming a full cake is just as important because the first few steps also matter
just found you and after the first video started making things I wanted to do so long but never did, I think I found new inspiration ❤️
I love u Amy!!! Don’t ever let anyone take away ur energy!
Immma full cake that needs to be cooled off a bit before decorating. I also took a break from dating to just focus on myself. And it’s probably been the best decision I’ve ever made. I gave myself two semesters (but I kind of started in summer) to lay a foundation for a better ‘self’ in the long run because I believe healing and working on yourself is a life journey.....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING :) Nice to know that I’m not the only one that thinks like this or is doing this haha
You are the epitome of first whiff of freshly baked cake 🎂 I appreciate your content so much - the naked angel cake with a slice taken out 🍰 👼
Recreating the batter. Adding more sugar etc. kids are grown, so I’m rediscovering me.
Amy, I am glad you explained that you didn't design any of your collection. Many of the commentators thought different. I still think you should address this in another video with more transparency, not in the middle of this video. Not everyone knows what it means to curate a collection. Some of the viewers only wanted to buy because they thought you were the designer. If you read all the comments from that video you will understand what I am talking about. The title is also deceiving since it is basically a "lookbook" ad for your store and trying to sell products to your viewers. Jen addressed all the issues with her last collection in a video and answered questions from her viewers' comments which was really appreciated. I don't have any problem with you using your platform to sell products but it needs to be made very clear to your young viewers.
Pat Schwab ooooo apologies for that! will address that in an upcoming video, thank you for letting me know
@@amy_lee You are a lovely young lady with great style and talent with young viewers who adore you. I am a parent with daughters in college and older kids. You have to be careful how you represent yourself on your platform to these young viewers. My advice before you make a new video is to read all the comments and write a list so you can address all the questions asked about your collection. I did read them all before commenting on that video. You can message me if you have any questions. P.S., I still want to know if you came up with all the product names?
You're a wise chic. Be selfish, don't exchange energy with anyone that can suck you dry. But yes be open to love and continue to be in your good place. Plus you've got amazing lovely hair!
Great cake analogy! I also feel like a cake that misses the decoration... I've been on a view tinder dates lately, but it really takes a lot of energy and unfortunatley i havent really met anyone that I genuinely like... I think its quite difficult to meet and conect with new people in the "real" world.
esfischlimteich in the same boat, I have a very hard time meeting anyone in person.
All of your instagram story posts have resonated with me so much...currently a mushed up, blasted, crumbly, nothing cake and trying to bake a whole new one in 2019 *sigh*
crying at the cake analogy 😂😂😂 what a queen
I'm more of a cake in the oven. I'm going to school and i've got a supportive family system and a small support friend system, i love myself for who i am and really enjoy me time but for some reason i am stuck and always focused on getting a boyfriend even though deep down i know i don't need one and that at my current state mentally i don't really need that in my life. I think it may have to do with me never being able to date before and i might be trying to make up for lost time now that i'm 20 and being told if i don't date now then i'm a lost cause for the future. I'm trying to work on getting rid of this mindset and move on in my life just enjoy time with my friends and enjoy being alone.
duuude i paused half way. im definitely becoming a full cake but i keep struggling to accept that i am. im very ambitious and always striving so it's like i never accept that i have everything i need at the present moment. i always think i could use more baking when really im in danger of being overcooked! this made me realise firmly, i need to get out the oven and let myself get decorated in icing and edible flowers.
ceedling has a good video on the idea of needing to be whole or loving yourself first (The Problems with "You Can't Love Somebody Else Until You Love Yourself") highly recommenced as a contrasting opinion to this one
"Be as carefree as you can without fucking up your life."---- my new motto
omggg that dude who sent you those messages-- "WHO HURT YOU??" LMAO seriously though, who hurt him xD
Always adore your AMwithAmy's! But I am a full cake in the sense that the foundation, or the cakes themselves, are stacked nicely, it just lacks the frosting, fondant, and the toppings ya know? lol
Hope you feel better!~
Yo I almost cried at the cake analogy I needed it I’m a broken cake smashed half ate cake
I love this analogy! I always disliked the idea of two halves make a whole, like people saying their partner is their “better half.” I agree with you that everyone should be their whole person and not rely on someone else to make them whole.
her hair is just so beautiful
your videos are so relaxing
언니!! 항상 영상 잘 보고있어요:)) 항상 자신감 넘치시고 뭘 하던 뭘 입던 너무 예쁘세요!!!! 저도 언젠가 노력 끝에 언니처럼 자신감 넘치고 당당하게 살고 싶어요ㅎㅎㅎ 꾸준히 응원합니다❤️❤️❤️
Also plz don’t call yourself Taylor Swift of YT, I’ll be triggered
"ubuntu" as a South African who's been watching you for years this made me happy
I always like your video at the beginning because I know I’m gonna love it 🥰
Your natural beauty is everything! 🥰
i needed to hear this, thank you
I think I have created a new batter. My relationship ended begin November and I’m still recovering although I think I have healed so so much this past month. I didn’t realise the problems I ignored until I got out of the relationship and it has been good to deal with them on my own and seeing improvement everyday. That’s the thing with being an empath: you try to keep your s. other blissfully happy while you yourself fade slowly into the background. I have learned that I should never value myself less than someone else. I still miss him everyday but I’m genuinely happy and present again.
There is no such a thing as a full cake
Profound
Amy, would you be able to share with your viewers the names of the designers who produced the clothes you've curated? This information would be really helpful, as I know I'm speaking for many people when I say I'd like to be more informed about where my purchases are coming from. Thanks!
I love this - thanks for being such an inspirational person Amy xx 💋
Amy can you please do a video on how you do your hair!! My sister and I are literally obsessed 😍
I love this cake analogy! For the most part I’m a fully cooked/done cake. Is there room for more icing or for the icing to be smoothed over? Yeah. But for the most part, I’m a nice cake. But then again I’m old af so I’ve had time to get cooked lol. Where is your scrunchie from??? I would love to get stuff from your capsule except I’m plus size so none of it fits me 🤷🏻♀️
Forever using the bread analogy ✌🏽 but be the cake you wanna be girl!
Can't wait to finally be a light fluffy strawberry cake, with strawberry cream frosting and rose strawberries on top. Working on the recipe!
it is so true///
definitely, feel the same about having a hole which doesn't exist...
Just subscribed, love how eccentric and poetic you are!!
Im so curious as to what MB personality type you are! Not that theyre all that accurate but I feel like I click and share so many thoughts with you and that we might be of the same type- or at least category? (Im an ENFP)
I feel like I’m getting to the full cake part but my inside is still undercooked because of anxiety. So I’m taking care of that 🍰
Amy, if you haven't read 'Everything I know About Love' by Dolly Alderton, i think you'll love it! ❤️
PS: your videos are the greatest, and keep at it with the cake. You are bound to be some magnificent scrumptious delectable masterpiece one day soon!! 💕💕
share with us your hair secrets? what are you using on your hair to keep it so healthy?
I love cake so I love the cake analogy! This has come at an interesting time in my life. Instead of a cake analogy of myself I wanna the it on my life - I feel like my life is a perfect beautiful vanilla cake with strawberries on top. But I feel like it’s not quite me. I feel like I’m not the dark chocolate ganache cake with gold leaf decorations that comes with a side of berry coulis. Would you change something that seems so logically perfect on paper, leave stability, take a risk and change your personal life completely based on gut feel?
I would say I’m an almost full cake, with the first layer of icing done but the details not completely finished. I recently just got out of a relationship with someone that was a smushed cake but currently a partial cake. But I feel you on the need to fill a hole, which was why I was in a relationship with that person.
you are so gorgeous i can't even
Ur too sweet!
i love your hair omg
I feel like I'm a nice simple, rustic, imperfect cake. Pretty much done, but can still be improved. I'm still in the box tho, guarded, and not yet ready to be enjoyed by another full cake because of my trust issues. Still working on learning to trust and take risks again.
What do you do if you had managed to (almost) be a complete and full cake, but then the holidays came and spending time with family destroyed your beautiful energy? (Cause they love you but they're kinda toxic at the same time)
I'm a nice new york style cheesecake with a strawberry on top. I just need a nice glass case to protect myself. Thank you for blessing the internet once again!
I’m so happy I found you 💓
Your hair is so majestic daaaaaamn
Just for the cake analogy I gave you an immediate cake like 💞
