Today mom told me she wanted me to go shopping with her. I decided I'd just go since I had nothing else to do. I put on some pair of clothes and when I looked in my makeup box, I saw that Bella's red bright lipstick was there. I had never wore such color, because I never thought I'd like it. But that was years ago. I noticed how beautiful the color was. So I tried it on and when I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I actually liked it. I felt good. I felt older and pretty. I decided I'd wear it. When I went downstairs, mom looked me from head to toe and told me that the color didn't match me and that it really washed me out.
If it was other times, I'd go up, wipe the lipstick off my lips and come back with an angry attitude. But this time I did it differently. I just smiled, told her that I liked it on me and that I would wear it.
She didn't say anything else.
I guess the first step to reinvent myself is to know that I don't need other people's acceptance in order to accept myself.
