Happiness is a Journey

I’ve always had kind of shitty self esteem and I’ve had enough of it. Going to the gym and feeling confident in a bikini (despite having the complexion of Casper the Ghost) doesn’t change how you feel when caking on the foundation doesn’t cover your acne, or worrying  if you’re smudging your mascara. I’ve relied on make-up to feel my best, and I always put on foundation, even when I don’t need it. I can’t leave my house without wearing mascara. Go to school make-up free? I’d rather go naked. But I’m done with these chains. I’ve been make-up free 3 days and the first 2 were very difficult. Today was the first one at school. I had comments made by 2 friends about my bare face, but it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I’ve already noticed a big positive difference in my complexion and my eyes feel so light without all the make-up!
