Brown eyes

Kristy

The next few days I had worked hard on trying to love myself but it doesn't happen overnight. I still cried some days but I didn't let it take control. I had started with taking better care of myself, I went on walks and I would pamper myself to make me like the way I looked, not just for others but mainly for myself.
I had low self esteem for so long I didn't know what it was like the pamper myself, it felt as if what I was doing was wrong. But knew that this was my starting point. I wanted to fix me because if I didn't I would be down for god knows how long. I just couldn't go back to that so I knew it for my own good.

1 month later
"Kristy!" My little sister yelled from the top of the stairs "coming!" I yelled back, as I finished my last touches on my makeup. I stared into the mirror and softly smile " damn I ain't seen you in a long time" I said to myself.
I walked up the stairs and looked at everyone and smiled "I'm ready" everyone was standing at the door, " alright kids get in the car" my mom said firmly. My 3 little sisters started running to the door until one stopped, it was Charlotte she looked at me with her big brown eyes and smiled " you look pretty sissy" she said, I smiled the other 2 girls Ava and Amelia smiled and nodded in agreement. " thank you lady's and you all look very pretty too" I said with my voice with excitement of the the compliment, they all smiled once more and ran out the door. I watched as they disappeared off the porch until I felt a hand on my shoulder, " you look nice kris" my little brother said I turned around and smiled " thanks James" I said he smiled "your still ugly tho" he said with a wink I laughed at him "get your as in the car" I said with a smile.
Later that day I found myself in the bathroom taking off my makeup until I heard a small knock at the door, " who is it?" I said loudly " charlotte" a soft but loud reply came from the other side, " come in!" I said. I watched as my sister walked in and looked at me in the mirror then looked me " sissy why do you put on makeup" she asked me in a sweet tone, I looked at her and sighed "well makeup makes feel pretty" I said with a small smirk, " but why would you wear makeup if you are already beautiful?" She said, I stared at her " well I don't always feel that way babe" I said, she looked at me and motioned for me to come closer to her, I leaned down just a bit " what's up I said in a low tone, she smiled " you are the most beautiful girl in the world and I wish you would see it like I do" she said I was stunned and I slowly stood back up straight.. " thank you baby and you are too" then she smiled and walked out the bathroom.
I slowly turned back to the mirror finishing what I had stared. That when I thought " damn I needed that."
As I finished my makeup I felt a little better, I walked over to the window and looked outside " you can do this kristy I know it" I told myself then sighed
