i am more than a face
While a small issue in comparison to the problems of today, my looks used to be a big insecurity. Putting on makeup is something I used to do to cover up. It was something that made me feel like I could be seen, smart, talented, cool enough - as if makeup was what gave me the abilities to be myself. I hope you know you are more than just a face. You are a special individual. And I hope you have the confidence to go after what you believe in, regardless of any insecurities you may have.
