True Beauty

 Beauty is not about your outward experience but rather how you feel about your appearance (Confidence is everything)  "Then I look at myself again close up and I say to myself that I look okay, maybe better than okay."

   I am getting ready to go out tonight I can't what the bar I am going to is having a karaoke night. I love to talk to new people. I put on all  my make up and it only took me 30 minutes which is quicker than usually. I have my lipstick on to cover up the fact they are small. I also made my cheekbones look higher than they really are. I try to cover up the fact that I have red hair and being so tall.

  I was walking out when one of my friends yelled " Angela are you going to the bar for karaoke night." I yelled down the hall " sue, where else would i be going tonight."Then I turned and walked away going down my apartment stairs. I was walking down the street because it was only 2 blocks to get to the bar. When I walked in there was a large crowd there. I see some guy (clearly had to much to drink already) singing wrecking ball. That made me laugh so hard my stomach started to hurt. Then Sue tapped my shoulder and asked "What I was laughing at then I pointed at the guy singing." She broke into laughter as well.

  Then a super cute guy walked into the bar and asked for a water witch I thought was weird considering it is a bar. I went up to him and he looked at me and started to walk away fast. I asked Sue "Why he would he run away from me" then she said "Your eyeliner was coming of." I ran to the bathroom in a panic. While was was running lots of guys laughed at me. I was really concise when I walked back out of the bathroom after spending 10 minutes fixing my makeup. When I walked outside to get fresh air a canape full of water fell on me. I was completely soaked.

  I ran to my apartment so I could curl up into a ball and cry. Some many people were looking at me and laughing. Then a man well dressed man pulled me under a canopy and said "what is wrong is there someone chasing you." I said no and he asked me If i was okay and I replied no to him and explained what happened. I asked him for his name and he said John. He invited me inside is little corner store so we could warm up. He said "any guy that makes fun of you for the way your make came of is a moron because you are a true beauty.

We exchanged numbers and we are happily married now even after 20 years. He made me understand that beauty does not come from the makeup you put on but rather your self confidence.
