Something out of my comfort zone

Today I did something out of my comfort zone and I did this for the following reasons.

1/ because I am worth it

2/ because it is a constant reminder every time I look at them that I am present

3/ because I’m claiming back the femininity that I feel was stolen from me through trauma

4/ because beauty is an internal thing, doing this allowed me to see even at my age, I still have beauty. I believe this and so this is the image outwardly I portray to the world around me

5/because I find it easier to focus on the negatives, and on things I still have to face, I did this as a reminder that on the way to every negative experience I can stop for a picnic or a breather

6/because I know deep inside is a young girl who was very excited about this

Yes I had my nails done!
