THE POWER OF…..
Clothes & makeup!
After feeling dreadful the last few days, the post surgery pain peaking, today I decided to pull myself together. My therapy has alway been clothes, they can change my mood & confidence instantly. I may not yet have my nails back on or be in my heels but a little bit of make up & a new jacket is like medicine
I do get comments from people saying “you don’t ’have’ to wear heels you know.” But at 5’1 & having spent the last 40 yrs gaining my confidence because of them, it’s hard not feel incomplete without them. I suppose it’s a little bit like my armour.
Don’t get me wrong, people still feel the need to tell me regularly that I’m short, as if I hadn’t figured that out for myself over the last 51yrs🤪 or refer to me as their ‘little’ friend or ‘little’ Amanda 🤬, bizarre that people feel the need to add an adjective to short people, I wonder if the they refer to their other friends as ‘my regular height mate’ or ‘my tall pal’ 🤔
Anyway, rant over! I feel a million times better today than yesterday, so let’s see if I can manage a walk to the pub for a pornstar martini 😆
Happy Saturday folks 😘
