methinks….people underestimate how makeup is an actual real psychological trauma and im not being hyperbolic. being incapable of seeing your bare face in the mirror w/o being shook to your core and spiralling into a chain of negative emotions that ruins the rest of ur day? viscerally fearing being observed w/o makeup so much it informs how and when and IF you dare to move in public spaces? how many women fear intimate relationships bc they cant stomach the thought of someone seeing them w/o makeup? being so alienated from your own body that either exposing it or being exposed to it renders u depressed disturbed and disgusted sounds like textbook trauma responses to me

this may be fake deep but i’m constantly thinking of andrea gibson’s piece where they say “I said to the sun, ‘Tell me about the big bang.’ The sun said, ‘it hurts to become.” and that really puts my trauma, pain, and hopelessness into perspective
