No Makeup: Day Five

So, today is basically the last day of this depravation. But I must say I'm not too eager to go back to my old ways. From now on I'm only going to wear a little eye shadow every here and there. But other than that I'm pretty comfortable now. “Comfortable,” I’ll clarify.

I like the outside me, not just the inside me anymore. The inside me the personality, the strong sense of humor, the talkative, and opinionated person I am was only happy to be her if she looked “pretty.”

Or if she was encouraged as such. Sometimes even when encouraged I still didn’t believe enough in myself. But, I’ve realized that the whole me is the whole me. Who I am with or without the make up is what I’m going to have to really live with for the rest of my life.

So instead of being way too self conscious, I think I’ll learn to become a well rounded “beauty” even though I don’t know if I have the self confidence to call myself a beauty, it's just kind of an amusing word hahah.

But basically I’m in agreement with my appearance for once. Make will still be my friend but not my crutch.

And given more time, I think I won't need it at all.

Thanks Vice Project, the parents'll be proud!
