I’m a strong woman that loves to put on make up, but I am also a woman that feels, and will continue to feel like I can’t leave the house without it.

I have a large scar on my forehead, an acne problem and it makes me feel so ugly and insecure about myself. I’ve tried to go without make up at school and it just doesn’t feel right. It feels like my scar is bad to look at it. I feel like I need to cover it up. People say it doesn’t look bad, but when you walk around a whole school full of people it doesn’t feel right. I sometimes even think about it when I’m alone. I’m a strong woman in public, but when I’m alone, I feel like I’m such a little girl even though I’m 18. But I’m trying, and I might just go without make up one day and it will feel good, but for right now it’s not a thought in my mind. For now I’m just practicing self love and it’s helping me to feel better, not good, but better.
