From the Girl Who Likes to Wear Makeup

To the girl who tells me I don't need makeup,

Maybe you don't mean to make it sound like you look down on me for wearing makeup, but that is what it feels like. Maybe you are trying to compliment me. It just doesn't come across that way to me.

So to all the people who talk about how I don't need makeup, I want you to understand something. Maybe I don't need makeup, but that is fully my choice. I don't wear make up for anybody else besides myself.

So, yes maybe I don't need the makeup. But wearing it improves how I feel about myself. Wearing the makeup isn't for some guy. It isn't to please you. It is because it is how I feel the most comfortable in my own skin. Everybody has a way they use to try to feel the most comfortable they can be in their own skin and this is mine.

So I understand why you may not want to wear makeup, I do. But, how you feel about wearing makeup has nothing to do with me. It is a personal choice and if I choose to wear makeup, then I can. I try to avoid being upset about this, but sometimes it is just infuriating.

Please, please, please let me do what I want with my makeup. And I will let you do whatever you want with yours.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Enjoys Wearing Makeup

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
