My Face

My face defines me. I am pale, with a natural blush. Luckily I've never gone through the acne stage, but I'm bound to get the random zit every now and then, and my skin can become quite dry. I am nowhere near the expert at makeup. so sometimes I use a little bit of rouge (even though I don't need it), concealer, mascara and eyeliner. And I can't forget my favourite, my stack of lip balms that make my lips silky smooth.

The fortunate clearness shows the blank slate that I am experiencing at the moment. I recently decided to start anew. I'm sure it was a mix of positive pursuation and sudden exposure. I went from a place where conformity and similiarity is key, to a place where originality and differences make someone unique and special. In other words I switched from a private highschool to public for my final year. I guess someone could question my sanity, but so far I feel it is the right decision and this will make it easier for me to establish the basis of who I am.

And that's where all the makeup comes in. I apply the makeup without a foundation, therefore I plan my future without the present. Basically I am sure to overthink and analyse my future, while forgetting to, excuse the cliche, live in the moment.

The zits, that many wake up to in a fit, are the problems that I must face, whether they will always be with me, or just happen to pop up when I least expect them to. The ones that always seem to leave and return to the exact same places are my permanent problems. Though I may be able to push them out of my head at certain times, they will always come back and eventually I will have to learn to live with them. Yes, I may not accept some of those issues at the moment and will easily become even more frustrated with others who do not accept or understand how I feel.

I could than bring in the fact that I have a nose stud, and say that I am rebelious....yet my mom did come with me to get the peirce. I do dream of rebellion, the whole "I am my own person, I want to break free" thing. I'm sure it's natural for the teenager who is trying to figure out who they are and what they want in life.

I can usually look at a person's face and analyse their personality. It's a strange ability that I have. It's mostly in the way that someone smiles or simply in the lines and shape that define their face. This can show if their gentle, calm, cynical, intelligent, or not so intelligent....and that is why everyone has a different face. Yes, I'm sure each face does not meet my former metaphors, but much of our definition shines through our facial expressions.
