“I sit on that line that so many sit on, the line between beautiful and not. I can reach it on a good day, during the follicular phase of my cycle, if I didn’t sleep on my face, with just the right amount of plucking and primping and a great hair day and God’s grace during my makeup routine. It’s the line that keeps me even more stuck on the hamster wheel of the pursuit of beauty. Even more dependent on makeup tutorials and tips-and-tricks videos and “that perfect cream bronzer.” Because anything could be the thing that makes the difference between me being beautiful or not.”
― Jennette McCurdy, Half His Age
