I have not left my house without makeup since I was 9 years old.

Today, I did. I social distanced with a friend and we had mojitos.

At the end, she said, I don't know what happened to you–what changed, if it was quarantine or something else–but I need you to know this: You are absolutely stunning.

I cried all the way home. I was finally free. I will never wear makeup again.
