how is it that reality isn't the norm, and the norm is a skewed version of reality?
nature doesn't need anything to be beautiful, it just is.
i think i'm pretty.
i mean not that o gosh she's so pretty, it takes a second to see, but i do think i'm pretty.
my self esteem hasn't blossomed to that state of going without make up.
but i can have a good day and feel comfortable without it.
the thing is i like to feel pretty.
feeling pretty makes things happier.
feeling attractive helps anybodys mood.. whether they want to admit it or not.
but why is it that i don't feel Pretty without make up?
how come the average of what every girl looks like, without alterations, isn't enough?
i'm not sure how we got here.
but maybe i'll work to get somewhere that makes more sense.
like how nature just is beautiful.

why indeed isn't a girl, just as she is, pretty? enough? I agree with you. Yesterday for fun and because she asked me to, I put mascara on Julia's gorgeously long eyelashes. It was interesting to see the effect--longer, black lashes. But she is so beautiful without! Just as she is. I think we just get so used to seeing ourselves WITH it, you know? I don't have any easy answers for this--it's a personal journey for every girl--but I wish you all the best as you go along. Love you.
You are beautiful, Sarah. You have ALWAYS been beautiful to me.
