au naturel

on sunday, i discovered that i got sty on my right eye and in case you don't know what it is, it's like a zit on your eyelid. since i'm going to bangkok this weekend, i wanted to make sure it healed before i left so that i won't look gross in all my trip pictures :P

so i decided that i wasn't gonna put any eyeliner and mascara this week cause that's what you're supposed to do when you get sty. if you know me, you'd know that it's a struggle. i've worn makeup since i was 14 and i wear makeup whenever, and i mean WHENEVER, i go out, except when i go to school. it definitely was (and still is) difficult especially since i'd quite alot of going out to do this week. in fact, i have work also and you know the stigma with island creamery girls, i mean bad enough that we alr have to look good on normal days, what more on days when i can't wear eyeliner right? then i had to go back to mccann for a potluck and these people have seen me with makeup, every single day of the 3 months that i was there. and if you wear eyeliner often, you'd know that it REALLY makes a world of difference to the way you look!

anyway, i made it through this week, well most of it, and i think it's really changed me. before, i could never go out without wearing eyeliner cause i'd feel so insecure. now, i feel like its okay and i might actually do it more often, it's quite liberating, really. just thought i'd share this cause it's an issue that i constantly deal with and have been dealing with for quite long. since young, i never was the prettiest of the lot and neither was i the slimmest so i've always had to deal with people saying mean things about the way i look. it's come to the point where even when people say nice things now, i find it difficult to believe. i really am very glad that i'm finally starting to get over this insecurity.
