I've always loved dressing up, doing my hair and makeup. I used to love dressing up glam even for casual situations, even if I was going to the supermarket I would get dolled up. I've always found it really fun, and it would make me feel so much more confident. I used to always get compliments on how well dressed I was, which was a big confidence booster.

These days I rarely have the energy, and I miss it. I feel so ugly and rough. Some days I do find the energy to do my makeup and wear something nice, however it's not the same. I used to be able to do a full face of makeup with lashes but now I'm forced to stick to do quick and easy makeup if I do have the energy to get ready. I miss experimenting with makeup, I used to love doing colourful looks with lashes and glitter.

I know it probably seems really trivial but I wish I could dress up more, and I hate that my health has robbed me of that, because it's such a big part of my identity.
