Roxy Wuz Here

The Shiftlist: Glow-Up or Get Out

This one’s for my ex.

And my ex’s ex.

And that situationship that ghosted me but still watches my stories like it’s a Netflix series he never paid for.

Welcome to The Shift List.

Roxy here. 

Where today’s episode is called:

“Glow-Up or Get Out.”

Subtitled: Get Out. Seriously. I’m not paying for both our therapy.

Let me be clear.

This isn’t a revenge episode.

This is a…

glamorous exorcism.

A skincare routine with a body count.

Because my healing?

Doesn’t come with a refund policy.

If you broke me —

you don’t get to enjoy the reboot.

You ever realize your glow-up made your entire past nervous?

Suddenly people who breadcrumbed you are texting:

“You seem different…”

Yeah. I am.

I moisturize now.

With the tears of my old self-esteem.

Here’s the thing:

Every time I leveled up,

someone tried to pull me back down —

like emotional crabs in a designer bucket.

then reappear like a seasonal allergy.

But now?

I crack claws.

You don’t get to ghost me,

This version of me?

Has boundaries.

And black eyeliner that could slice your ego open in court.

So if you’re watching my glow-up from the shadows…

stay there.

It’s where I buried your access anyway.

This has been The Shift List.

And today’s shift?

Is savage.

Smeared in mascara.

And unavailable for your redemption arc.

Now Glow-up or get out.
