Why do I feel prettier when I cry?
Maybe because emotion and feeling it deeply is beautiful.
The rosy complexion and messy mascara,
imperfect dark circles and tear streaks peeking through my skin tint
that could never hide everything.
The blush I’ve been trying to capture in a bottle for years,
slowly being lapped up by my yellow undertones.
A glow in my eyes that had been missing for a while, rejuvenated after tiringly bottling the sad for too long.
And now, a stroll through Trader Joe’s to bring me back to reality.
