I went to work without make up,not even lipstick today. But I did curl my hair. Someone asked me where I was going, giving the impression my hair was too made up just for work.
It honestly, for a fleeting moment brought my self-esteem down. When I went to break I contemplated on some things. Then I thought, why would she ask me that? When I see that person every single time, she's fully made up? With foundation on face, eyeliner, eyeshadow and lipstick.
I don't wear foundation, eyeliner and eyeshadow to work, just lipstick and face powder. Yet she had the audacity to imply with my hair curled that I was going somewhere aside from work?
There must be an explanation to this inconsiderate question. It was meant to hurt me and make me feel bad about myself. But at the end I realized something. I heard that insecurity kills all that is beautiful. I really thought that what she showed me was a classic example of bad behavior. I felt she was trying to bring me down with my looks. I like my hair curled and I feel pretty. I will continue to do it regardless if she thought I'm going elsewhere. There is nothing wrong going to work feeling and looking beautiful.
I never thought I'd write this but maybe she needed to eat her make-up so she can be pretty on the inside too.
