Feel free to feel beautiful

Looking good is on the to-do list of all the girls. Every girl tries her level hard to be present as an eye-catching human of the place they are at. We girls work on our hair, face, body, clothes , accessories , shoes, bags or even nail art just to look every bit perfect. Obviously this thing can't be generalized to all the women. Some are just too cool to give a fack to all this. They can carry baggy clothes, casual shoes and messy hair in the sassiest way possible. Effortlessly pretty. I have always adorned those women. Like so awesome.

I was a girl that was too much dependent on her contact lenses if I had to step out of the house ; which made me dependent on the eye liner to beauty them. I have frizzy n curly hair so there was no life without hair straightening to get rid of the frizz. The lips couldn't do without a lipstick - the darker the better. Then obviously the clothes should match the shoes. The nail paint should be changed every week. Gosh ! So much of it. I was so much dependent on every single thing like an absence if any of it would make me think a thousand things negative about my looks. I felt so incomplete.

When I got my braces done last year I was so ashamed if stepping out of the house. I looked like a goat. Any lip color (all of them being bold shades) would look so bad on me as my lips were all popped out after the braces.  I would refuse to hang out and taking pictures was something I tried to escape. After a few weeks I started feeling comfortable with this look as there was no other option. I started taking selfies with silly filters which didn't highlight my mouth portion so much and I started to like it. I started taking pictures with everyone. Life cant remain easy for long so one day I got conjunctivitis.

 I could not put my contacts on. I literally took a 2 days off so that I can get back at work with contacts. Things didn't work and in fact backfired due to my impatience. I put my lenses on my half recovered eyes and it got worse. So much that I was told to not out them for at least 45 days. Then I had no option but to put on my spectacles. Though I've been wearing anti glares at office it didn't really come like something new to the people around me as they were seeing me with my glasses on every day. This was easy. I waited for 45 days . Still I was so uncomfortable with the contacts that out of irritation I actually tore them off. I got another pair thinking that the previous pair might have worn out. The new pair didn't work and I literally threw it. Since then I'm not wearing lenses but only my spectacles. Blessing in disguise - I didn't have to do any eye makeup which saves 15 minutes in the morning so more sleep. Then I stopped even making my hair. Another 15 minutes more to sleep. Then no lipstick. Another few mins. So basically I started living a life with more morning sleep and least dependency on those little things that mattered to me the most at a time. I was so stupid.

Now even I'm one of those girls I adored. Getting ready is easy is effortless. I no longer look at those girls with an awe that have everything on point. My life gave me chances to accept myself better. I feel good, I feel pretty.
