Pause

This morning I put on makeup and wore my hair down for the first time in about a week. I looked in the mirror and thought, whoa.

Life’s been a bit of a roller coaster. And I didn’t expect this one at all. Usually when I’m busy busy busy, I braid my hair and leave it there. If anything, I take it out only to re-braid it so it’s not falling out and fuzzy.

I recently had highlights put in, and I’m still getting used to them.

I struggle with feeling vain when I look at my reflection and think, ‘wow, I’m beautiful.’

I struggle with feeling like I’m worth much, cuz I really just don’t think I’m worth much.

So this morning when I looked in the mirror, that initial wave of ‘you’re so vain’ washed over me… and then I actually took a minute to LOOK, and see myself from an outside perspective. It was a bit humbling.

I am beautiful.

I’ll work on feeling worthy.
