I can’t explain how I feel right now, all I know is I have an ache in my chest that won’t go away

do you ever feel like everyone is just sick of you

[merakimade]

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love sleeping alone in my bed and being able to completely sprawl out. But there’s something about being woken up in the middle of the night to your person scooting over and grabbing you closer. Even when you sleep on your stomach and angled all weird yet they still find a place to comfortably lay their head on your back and intertwine their legs with yours.

as someone went from wearing makeup everyday two years ago to someone who never wears makeup now, two things have happened:

1. I actually sincerely, genuinely prefer the way I look without makeup more than with it. Nowadays I don’t think a lot of people realize that the more often you wear makeup, the more foreign your face will look to you without it, and vice versa. I’ve gotten to a point where my bare face feels the most me.

2. When I do wear makeup, it’s actually fun! Because I’ve decided to give up on concealer and foundation and contouring, it really becomes more about the artistic expression. It’s fun to wear bright orange blush, glittery highlighter, and pastel eyeshadow. Makeup should be no different than a kitschy accessory, or a fun outfit.

I actually highly recommend any of you do the same, especially if you’re someone who does wear makeup everyday (and if that’s the case, I challenge you). 

Start by going a couple days, not during the weekend or a time you know you’ll be home, without any makeup at all. Go for a week. Then two weeks. Then a month. Go to work, go to school, go to the store, go out to dinner, hang out with your friends. 

And here’s the most important part: whenever you see your reflection, smile.

Doing this not only helped me feel like makeup was not necessary to feel presentable (something that I thought I already believed but internalized more of a dependence than I’d thought) but also helped me to have a positive association with my own face! I hope this can help motivate people that want to be less dependent on makeup and more comfortable in their own skin!

oh can I also just say???

I am 21 now, and I started wearing makeup regularly when I was around 13-14. I’m going to guess most of the women that wear makeup daily could say the same. 

So when you think about it, the majority of makeup-wearing women have not seen their true, unfiltered, makeup-free Adult Faces. 

Like yeah, you see what you look like when you take your makeup off at night. But unless you go at least a month without it, you haven’t really seen your face. You haven’t seen your face without yesterday’s eyeliner still sort of smudged. You haven’t seen how clear your skin could potentially be. You haven’t seen all your freckles on your cheeks when you smile. You haven’t seen how alive you look when your cheeks and nose get flushed. You haven’t seen all the beautiful colors the hyper pigmentation add to your face. I am an adult, and I’m just now finding out what I look like.

“Don’t you just hate nights like that, when you think over every mistake you’ve made, every hurt you’ve received, every bit of meanness you’ve dealt out? There’s no profit in it, no point to it, and you need sleep.”

Shout out to:

The people who don’t have a best friend because their friends already have best friends

The people who want to make friends and don’t know how

The people who have lots of friends but always feel lonely

The people who get left behind in a group

The people who are alone and nobody notices

The people who put their soul into a friendship and watched it fall apart

The people who are introverted and mistaken for being anti social

i wanna be loved……. like overwhelmingly loved….

it takes years to learn the difference between who to let go and who to be patient with. the same way it takes years to know what you deserve and what you don’t. so hang on there, growth and experience come with time.
