I love when you said: “Recently I’ve decided I don’t at all want people to know me for my flesh. It has such little value.” in your reply to the question about the nude photo shoot, I thought that was spot on!

You just completely overthink the whole makeup thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong In letting makeup make you feel good about yourself, it’s creative, you are a girl! sometimes weird things like lipstick just make girls fucking happy. I feel like you are just so caught up in trying to be perfect and having a reason behind every single thing you do. You just need to relax.
