Historically, I have been too insecure to be a girl. That pressure of prettiness, of being delicate, of being desirable. I refused to engage. But this year something has shifted. I love cardigans, I want to talk about how I do my hair, I learned how to do make-up. Even though I'm not a model, I adore making myself feel pretty and sexy. I'm falling in love with the culture of feminism, and reclaiming mother earth as a mother. Girlhood is something so insanely precious and now, despite it being so hard, I am so unbelievably grateful I get to experience it. Want to merge my soul with every woman on the planet and scream OH HOW I LOVE BEING A WOMAN!

As a child growing up with brothers and as the fat black kid, i never considered myself feminine. Even when i lost weight in middle school and went to an all girls high school, looking girly or being more “feminine” was just not something i thought about.
I feel like recently, i wanted to explore that more, as this pull to dress and appear more feminine has become super strong. Having a house to decorate in any way I can, actually starting to feel better about my body to wear skirts again, etc has really influenced me. But my fears are that it may portray trad wife or child’s play; I’m nervous of stares or being questioned about my views if i were to give such a strong appearance of a girly woman.
But some of my inspirations have been strolling through vintage creators and small japanese insta accounts with super pink and fluffy aesthetics.
Hopefully i will build up the courage

I used to hate pink growing up so much because my mom used to force me to like it and that internalised in me alot to a point I was always like " I'm not like other girls, I hate girly stuff " I was never mean to people that liked more feminine things but ig I was very envious of them for loving the things they loved so loudly and I was scared to do that.
After going off to college I had the space and privacy to explore what I like and I realised I've always loved being feminine and I've loved girly things forever I just never felt safe enough to voice it. Everything changed when I was allowed to grow and I've grown to voice what I liked better even of people tell me I'm too much I'm not ashamed of it because it took me so long to grow into who I am.
I have glimpses of pink in my room everywhere now and just the sight of it soothes me.

i was a makeup artist at sephora when i was like 19 and prom season was always so insane. every artist was booked and busy and we were all crammed into this tiny studio space to do everyone’s makeup. often times the girls getting their prom makeup done would be arguing with their mothers about how the makeup should be. meanwhile you have a walkie talkie of managers in your ear and music blaring like you’re in the club and shoulder to shoulder with everyone else trying to do makeup. OVER STIMULATING AFFF. anyways, during the makeup process i always asked the client if they would like to use the lash curler before i apply their mascara. and i made sure to ask if they’ve ever used one before and explain to them how to use it. this girl assured me she knew how to use one and even sassed me for daring to ask LOL. she proceeded with curling her lashes and as i’m watching her do so she just YANKS that shit straight out fully clamped and ripped out nearly all of her lashes. she then screams “I TOLD YOU I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO USE IT!!!” i was like WHATTTT!!!?? like absolutely shook to my core. literally the most mind boggling moment of my life it’s still burned into my brain. she then demanded me to go get a manager and while i was away she grabbed a makeup wipe and wiped off everything i had spent an hour on :’) i cried in the bathroom after. that girl was so unreasonably rude to me i will never understand why. i think she might’ve just wanted to not pay lol. people would pull things like this often just to get their appointment for free. who knows 🤦🏻♀️ but on the bright side a sweet lady snuck a $100 bill in my brush belt that day just for helping her find a brow pencil. i told her we weren’t allowed to accept tips so she just stuck it in my belt and left :)

sometimes estate sales make me so emotional. this one hit me especially hard because my boyfriend and i collect magnets from all the places we travel to and keep them on our fridge. it made me think, one day strangers will be rummaging through our magnets and all of the things we’ve curated together once we’re gone. instant tears.
