If we don't take care of ourselves and do the things that make us feel good, who else will? In moderation, of course!
One of my very good friends asked me why I don't wear lipstick. She won't leave the house without it. It makes her feel good about herself. Or does it? Is she doing for herself or because society has told us that we need that to look good to feel good?
Things that make me feel good have to do with staying home and enjoying my own space.
I am learning to stop doing things that everyone else tells me I should be doing just because we have been conditioned to do them.
It does feel good to say NO!

I understand about the makeup thing. I rarely wear it and when I do its just eyeliner, mascara maybe a bit of lipstick and they are all non toxic versions which are expensive so I dont wear them much, but most of the time I dont need them. It seems to bother other people more ... which feeds into what you're saying about societal expectations.. but basically I think people can do whatever they want as long as they don't harm anyone. Thank you for sharing - we are all learning how to stop doing this in auto pilot I think. 💛
You're welcome, @marleyandme! That's the whole thing for me. If it isn't harming anyone go ahead and do what you want. So much of my life was spent doing things I didn't really want to do to please others.
