<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Why do you bother with all this makeup?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">"You look better without it all!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Why would you spend so much time on your face?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">From the ages of fourteen to seventeen, I taunted my best friend these insensitive statements nearly every day, determined to change her obsession with makeup, an obsession at the time I deemed unhealthy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the time I was with a guy who hated makeup, he bitched about her 'caked on makeup' to me and I regrettably went along with his disrespect, feeling superior for my foundation-free skin and ability to not give a damn about my appearance. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In July last year we ended things and I immediately went through the most dramatic transformation imaginable. Over the summer I dropped over 10kg(22lbs); began taking a lot more care in my overall appearance and began to really mature as a person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Makeup became my new obsession, hundreds of £ a month would fall out of my paycheck and into m.a.c's pocket. Some might think that this 'superficial' change is a stupid reason to be happier, but I am. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I didn't do it to impress anyone, I did it because I wanted to take control of my life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">A lot goes around on the internet about makeup being empowering, I disagree, I believe that perusing what you find fun or what improves your outlook on life is what is empowering. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I now regret with all my heart my judgement to my friend. My gratefulness towards her forgiveness has helped me to progress with my changes I continue to make to my life and my love for her is unconditional.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Makeup, unusual fashion choices and psychology are my main interests and so this blog will be dedicated to my thoughts and loves.</span><br />
