Through magazines, newspapers, and pictures, people believe that society today has put a fair amount of pressure on girls to look perfect.

Society today make us feel as if we need to be skinny, as if we need to walk out the door everyday with a full face of makeup and a perfectly coordinated outfit on. Your hair has to be done and you have to have that perfect contour.

Although I do believe society has made us feel this way, I personally walk out the door like this, but not because of society tells me to do. It is not because of the social pressure. And no, it is not because I want to impress someone.

I walk out of the door each and every day with a full face of makeup on and a coordinated outfit, and I do it for no one other than myself.

For some reason, when I look put together, I feel put together. When I look good, I feel good. With a full face of makeup, I feel as if I am ready to conquer the world. It's not a self esteem thing or a confidence thing, it's a me thing. I have to do whatever it is in order to succeed, and if that consists of putting on makeup and doing my hair everyday, then so be it.

So please, stop negatively asking me why I wear makeup all the time. Or why I need to dress up all the time. Or why my hair is always perfectly straight. I feel more productive and ready to take on the day when I do so. It's not the need to fit in with the rest of society, and it sure isn't for any boy. It's for me and me only.
