I Wish I Could Leave The Beauty Industry.

I wish I could leave the beauty industry.

None of it fits anymore.

There is no magic potion for aging.

Beauty is not pain.

I hate being a part of something that has torn women down, told them they’re not enough exactly as they are, that they need fuller lips, glass skin, thick, long hair, an hourglass shape, a flat stomach, a wrinkleless face, a fat ass, a firm everything, a lifted everything.

I have never felt like enough, until I stopped caring what other people think of me. Until I stopped caring if people found me attractive.

The freedom I have felt since coming to that conclusion has shown me that there is so much more to life than chasing beauty, than chasing youth, than trying to be attractive to people you don’t know or care about.

OH MY GOD, IT WAS EXHAUSTING AND USELESS.

I feel so free

So I have to stay so I can help more people feel this way.
