A couple summarized quotes

-

Life is difficult. Once we truly know that life is difficult, once we truly understand & accept it, life is no longer difficult. Once we accept it, it no longer matters.

What Happened When I Went 2+ Weeks Without Makeup

-
It's been driving me crazy lately how random people online feel free to tell me that I wear too much makeup. STOP there. Why don't I tell them that they have too many tattoos? Or too much facial hair? "Your beard is outta control, seriously just cut it."  I don't tell anyone how they should look or if I have a problem with how they look, it's just that-- MY problem and not something I need to tell them to change to make me happy. Yet, guys (so far, never girls) have told me I should wear less makeup, or not wear makeup at all. Men of the world: if you like women, hey even just have any respect for self-expression at all, let your personal opinion on makeup not be made known. I didn't ask you? You don't tell me. Simple.

Love & only love

-
When my heart is feeling cold, When my soul is growing old, Tell me you're the one I've told: "I love you without reason" There is no need for me to have There is only love and love is mad. You can win your dreams or lose it bad; I dream, I won you When my heart tips upside down, When my smile has left to frown, I'm nothing if you're not around — Love will not be lost And when my days feel all anew, When my thoughts are coming through, Don't let me forget the best view: Love and only love. Poem by me 1yr ago today. :)
