I was broken. Society puts so much emphasis on a women's beauty. So when I thought that was taken away, because of my acne, I was broken and lost my worth and identity. Sad isn't it?
To put your identity in your looks? But if you think about it from a young age we hear from people around us "you're so beautiful" and other comments centered on our appearance. Do we ever hear "you're so ____" [kind, smart, hard working, talented, funny, encouraging etc]?
I didn't hear those as much as a little girl. So of course, I put my value in how I looked as many of us have at some point. When I had this cystic breakout after ending my dose of doxycycline antibiotics, differin, and clindamycin, I lost myself. I never had acne like this before and I felt ugly, unworthy, hideous, fake, and very insecure. I lost all my confidence. Makeup was the only way I could go out and let people see me. I'm thankful for it being thesecurity blanket I desperately needed at the time. But acne has taught me a beautiful lesson and I wouldn't give it up for anything.
Do not put your worth in your looks, or in anything else for that matter. I personally put my worth in Jesus Christ, who is my savior. Nothing can ever take that away from me: not acne, aging, or any other thing or person. All pictures are within the same week in July 2019 Makeup info is in my MAKEUP stories highlight.
