“mirror”
november 2009:
I have circles in under my eyes, darkest in the corners near my nose. My cheeks are flushed and while there are still marks or scars on either side below my mouth, my chin is looking clearer and smoother. My hair is curled like when I get out of the shower and don’t dry it properly, but it’s not out of control. Most of my hair is wavy going on straight. My eyebrows are somewhat bushy and my birthmark could use some plucking. There’s freckle/small mole on my lower right cheek, aligned between my nose and my mouth. I’m trying.
march 2010:
the circles under my eyes dip from dark skin into darker purple. i have splotchy cheeks, but i don’t touch them. my chin is dotted with angry spots. there is a space in my right eyebrow that i overplucked once & it never grew back. my eyelids are drooping so the tops of my lids sometimes touch my lashes. i put make up on almost every day. i am still trying, but in different ways, & sometimes it’s just as hard.
