I recently came across this article about "how to do a natural, no makeup look." Wait, does that make sense? It has instructions on how put on makeup to look as though you don't have any makeup on. Under the title it says, "Expert tips for fresh, flawless makeup that looks, well, like you're not wearing makeup." That made me think. So I clicked through the instructions. On almost each slide, it had a product and suggestions on how to apply it. If someone bought all these said products, they would spend over $192 on trying to look as though they are au natural. It seems so silly.

Sometimes people do shitty things. Maybe it's time to let them go, but it's often harder to let the pain of their hurtfulness go. Last year, I went through a pretty hard time before moving to China. I was hurt and blindsided. But I picked myself up and am a better person for it. I'm honestly grateful that it happened the way it did. I moved on and had bigger and better things to look forward to in my life. Last week, I had a dream and it was so clear to me that I had forgiven this person for good. I woke up feeling amazing.
