In the past, I was deeply insecure about taking pictures or meeting people without any makeup on my face, I always felt like I was too hideous or not pretty enough for anyone to love or to look at.. I was living with this insecurity for 12 years. I think it all started when I was in high school, I was bullied a lot for my appearance & weight.
One fine day, I was adamant to change that insecurity of mine. I started by not wearing makeup to work or even when I hang out with my friends (only if there’s a special occasion then I’m all dolled up 😂). It was rather challenging at first, I wouldn’t make eye contact with anyone with the fear that they might judge me or look at me differently.
Slowly it got easier, I started appreciating & boosting my self confidence more instead of demoralising myself. Day by day my confidence grew & eventually, I stopped caring about what other people thought about me.
Now before heading anywhere, Im able to look in the mirror (with or without makeup) & say “damn I look hella fine today!”, without crying for 2 hrs like I used to 😂

I hope that every man & woman knows that regardless of how you look, you are amazing! You strut your stuff & flaunt those flaws like it’s a damn runway show!! 😉🥰
You are beautiful ❤️

I used to feel like this too. Now I actually prefer less makeup than more. You can overcome your feelings, you are beautiful 🙂

I’m happy you have those sets of two hours back! And your advice to everyone is sound–don’t find self-worth in what others impose, accept your own amazement ’cause it’s there.
