"It's Not You, It's the Culture."

Life is weird.

People are weird.

Societal norms are weird.

I am someone who usually goes without makeup. Because I am lazy.

And so on the off day when I do put on makeup, I get so. many. compliments. Seriously. Not that nobody ever says anything nice on normal days, but it astounds me every time how many people are like "Wow, Addi, you look really pretty today."

And it's not like I care, or at least not enough to wake up earlier every day so I can fix my hair and put on makeup.

I just find it interesting. Do I really look so different? (Yes, actually, I do. I know that.)

I was remarking on this to Maddie, and she said "It's not you, it's the culture." Which I knew, but it just struck me.

Our world is weird.
