I have always had a real on again off again relationship with makeup and it's great to be able to look back on seasons of my life where I felt confident enough to not wear it for months at a time. These pictures aren't perfect but they do remind me that choosing my own free time, priorities, and beauty standards will always serve me more than stressing about eyelash glue. I have nothing but respect for the people who can do it every day but for me, taking breaks is what works.
