Confidence Feels Different Now

Trying to reconnect with confidence I used to have.

After a while, I finally did my makeup again.

People were staring at me while I was walking down the street on my way to pick up my son.

Honestly?
I don’t care. Sorta.

I’m alternative, and when I finally have both the energy and the time to do my makeup, I do it.

Today’s look was black, brown, and red around the eyes.

I’m also trying to step out of my comfort zone by wearing black eyeshadow again as a plus size woman.

A few years ago, after losing 40 kg, I used to wear dark makeup all the time and felt amazing and confident.

With filters? Sure. But real life feels different sometimes.

Today… I don’t feel that confidence the same way anymore.
At least not outside.
