(no subject)
When I was younger (13ish) I constantly posted on this beauty message board. Occasionally, when the mood strikes me, I go back and look up my old posts.
Such as now.
And every time, I read the things my 13 year old self wrote, and I am so...disgusted? embarrassed?
I was so obsessed with beauty/makeup, and the things I wrote, I read and I'm just like, are you kidding me? You really thought you had enough knowledge to give advice to other people? Why was I so concerned with looks?
One of the last few times I was getting my hair cut, Nicole, my stylist (or whatever you want to call her) asked me when I was going to get highlights, and I said I had zero desire to, even though in middle school I did it all the time. And she said that it's probably because I'm comfortable in my own skin.
And you know what? I am. Sure I don't think I'm perfect, but I think I have a rare ability to be able to look in a mirror and say, "you know what? you look nice today." It in no way means that I am completely happy and feel wonderful, but I wish that so many more people (like my sister) could have the same outlook.
One day...
