This weekend has undeniably been the hardest I’ve ever had.  

For the first time in my life, someone broke up with me (crazy I know! It doesn’t get better than this! Lol). I think if it was anyone else I’ve ever dated it wouldn’t mean much to be but since it was my first REAL head over heels love, the pain is unreal. I’ve gone through chemo, I have chronic pain, I’ve almost died; but nothing quite hurts like a broken heart.

While this has nothing to do with makeup, I think as someone with a disability as well as a facial difference, it’s something that should be addressed.  Dating is hard when you’re like me sometimes. On top of having a relationship end, you’re afraid that someone will not be comfortable getting involved with again because you have so much baggage to carry.  Sometimes that may be the reason the person wants to leave in the first place (I’ve had many situations like this. Not this time around but… you know what I mean)  

DO NOT LET THAT DETER YOU!

No matter what you look like or your physical limitations, you are worthy of love. You are worthy of being cherished. You are worthy of feeling beautiful and good enough.  Everyone is.  Never ever let anyone make you feel less than.  

It’s hard to shift your mind when you’re so bent on loving someone and spending the rest of your life with them.  Boy does it SUCK. You sit and you wonder what on earth you could’ve done wrong. What you should’ve done differently.  But remember to not take blame on yourself.  Things happen.  People fall out of love.  People move on. I cannot tell you how many tears I’ve shed and the hours my mind has fixated on the pain.  

But I know it gets better. I’ve slain bigger beasts and I’ve come out of it smiling.  I am worthy of love and now I am moving on to bigger and better things…. ❤️

Your girl
