All my life, I have been taught, to put make-up aside, why? you don't want unwanted attention; of whom? Of guys who will spoil you.
I have been told to pay more attention to my studies since that's how I will be someone.
Thousands of hours, I buried myself in books, many nights, when my family was up, since I had an exam later, hence the eye bags, and he doesn't see that behind my eyes?
My mom was told she looked like a dancer when she put on heavy makeup every day.
I could have told him the truth too.
That the shirt he wore looked like a hand down from ages, that the shade of his jeans was fading, that he doesn't know how to spell a word properly, or the fact that he didn't wash his hands before lunch shows that he had no care for hygiene.
He wasn't looking like a Prince Charming too. But what mattered to me was, I shouldn't speak these things out, coz they are superficial, isn't it?
