In high school people used to make a list of beautiful girls in class, or beautiful to ugliest and would find myself at the buttom always. So I accepted that I wasn't pretty, I didn't feel comfortable around people (esp at gatherings). When I went to college I started wearing makeup, I felt a little confident when wearing makeup. And it became my strength to the extent that I wasnt able to go the grocery store without wearing it. I didn't want friends to visit me and see me without makeup, it was just crazy. And I thought I was only beatiful when wearing makeup, it stressed me out when travelling cause I didn't want to be seen without makeup. Then few months ago I told myself “all the craziness has to stop”, I suddenly stopped wearing makeup and I started thinking positive about myself. Nomatter what people say, I see a beautiful woman when I look in the mirror. I told myself, makeup or no makeup I was beautiful. I accepted that I was pretty not ugly. So why can't you just accept that you are pretty. Because it all comes from the mind.
