Today I put on mascara.
I haven't worn even one bit of makeup in 8 days.
At first I didn't feel well.
Who wears makeup when they don't feel well and aren't planning on leaving the house?
Then I started to fear and when I fear, I cry.
And the tears just kept coming: pain, both physical and emotional, sorrow, mourning.
Today? Today I'm going to wear mascara. And carry it around in my bag. Along with some baby wipes, just in case.
Tomorrow I might not, but today I want to feel like me again.
Good for you emily! I know I always feel just a little bit better when I put on some make up, comb my hair, or put on some real clothes. Love you!
