| Me, as I write this, in all my "morning glory". |
My mother is a professional cosmetologist. I grew up in a "beauty shop" (I hate that term) and hear countless stories about how I was spending time in the mirror as a young child. These stories always make me feel like I am narcissistic or obsessed with looks, even though it is completely normal for kids to learn about themselves by looking at their reflections. My mom has always told me to fix my hair, or put on some makeup because "it will make you feel better." While, sometimes it's true just based on the fact that you are spending time on yourself and that can be cathartic. At the same time, I find myself saying ,"Why is that necessary?"
