As soon as I look in the mirror, I see myself. I really didn't know who I was seeing, but if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that this person may not be the real me. My eyes looked tired and swollen from crying all night, and my whole body felt numb. Because I hadn't slept well and was tired, there was a dark circle under my eyes that I knew would take a lot of contouring and highlighting to hide. But I was ready to put as much makeup on as I could to hide how upset I was and fake a smile for as long as I could.
