Hey! I thought that I was the only one.
Yes, I hid behind long hair and glasses and baggy unflattering clothing because I had this why bother attitude.
Now I have shorter hair (shoulder length as opposed to near mid-back) and wear my contacts daily so I can meet the world eye to eye.
I also make an effort to wear makeup and earrings as well as more form fitting fashionable clothing.
It has been a very girly experience dressing up all the time! I have never been a vain person, and now I am discovering the 13 year old within haha.
But, it can also be aggrevating, as I am much more prone to fat/ugly-"head" days. I think that that is because I more more effort into my appearance and when I am having a "nothing looks good on me I am ugly" day it hurts me more.
