For some reason, we want to be perfect but we aren't. You know it. I know it. Nobodies ever going to be perfect. Behind our make-up, we're all just us, simple human beings. We get judged by instantly everything we do and that's why we have to put on make-up so we're not judged. Do we really need it though? The answer is no. 
I used to wear a lot of make-up such as foundation, concealer, eye liner, and mascara in high school. I had zero confidence and now that I'm a little bit older, I don't care as much.
I can wake up every morning and wear my hair in a ponytail without having to worry about the thoughts of others. I can go to the store in sweats with no make-up and I just don't care anymore.
My transformation from high school to now... I've changed a lot.
We don't need to please everyone. If someone does not like who you are, you don't need that person in your life. Get rid of the negativity and only keep the positive friends that will support you until the end. I wanted to write this story as I think it's important. It's another issue in our society and I think it's sad because we don't need to constantly impress people but people still have it in their minds that they NEED to impress others. It's not necessary. You may see that I'm wearing make-up in my profile picture. There's times when we can have fun and dress up and that's okay, but don't do it to impress people. 
The best advice I can give is to just be yourself and smile! :)

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

This is the truth about what happens everyday of my life. So here it goes. Welcome To My Shitty Life. I'm not perfect, and I'm not beautiful, but I do have a small voice that needs to be heard. I may be shy, but writing is my real escape, and who knows maybe this will last a long time.
