6 Tips on How to Clear up Acne

"If I had a nickel for every time my husband said, "why do you have so much makeup?" I would be rich.

Listen, if my sister was a model, my mother would be in Paris. But she isn't so, so she doesn't get away with it, but not me. I have never been concerned with being beautiful. I have been more concerned with being myself. I have been blessed with some bad skin because of this.

That is why being a girl is so challenging. Why do you want to look beautiful for boys? That is what my mother always says to me. I don't know what to say to that, but I shouldn't have to say anything to it. I should be able to look and feel beautiful without having to worry about boys.

My boyfriend Jay guy says I'm beautiful. I mean I'm not beautiful in any way shape or form, but I know that makes me feel good, and I care more about what I feel in my heart, as opposed to my looks. I just want to go out and have fun and not be worried about what my boyfriend's brother says to me. Because this is true, and I don't want to get judged.

I am a Christian, but this story is not about religion, or God, or godly people.

It is about being true to myself and what I want, no matter what those things are. And this is what I want to do. I want be beautiful for myself. And I want to be free. And I could be free, if I would just tell my mom and dad. I know they will be upset, I mean I wasn't even supposed to have gotten married, it isn't in their plans for me to be a housewife. They wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer, one of those cool professions.

I don't want to be a lawyer. I don't want to be a lab technician either. But I can be a vegan. I want to be a vegan in New York. There is a place in Queens that has beautiful craft beers. Food too. I will have my own place, and I can have my husband work from home, and project manage his own work. I could take care of our home, be a vegan, create my own clothing line and go to yoga classes. That is what I want. Inside of me.

And it would be really nice to have a boyfriend who cares about me more than what other people think. I have had to do a lot of convincing of my family. I do not think they are mean in any way shape or form, and I do appreciate them because they want the best for me, but I don't want that for my life. I am tired of doing what everyone thinks is best for me. I do not want that kind of life for me.

I want to make my own choices. I want to be free.

That is why I wrote this.

If I could just tell my parents, they could help me with the legal stuff. And then I would be free.

I could pick my own job. I would be my own boss. I would get to dress however I want. I would be free and beautiful.

So I wrote this.

I want to be a vegan in New York.

I want to be free. And I want to be beautiful. And that is what I want.

That is my story; that is what I want."
