without the mask, maybe you'd see the signs better yourself?
i'm not being sarcastic.
i'm a woman who never used makeup and seeing the signs every time i glanced (you bet i didn't really look) in a mirror was always a grimacing experience.
wanting to hide myself...yeah. did it for decades, without the makeup.
what blessed relief to have the "signs" disappear along with the need to hide when i stopped and stayed that way.
