It’s one thing to look good, it is another thing to feel good. The fact is that those who feel good care less about how people see them. Not that they don’t care at all, they just care more about how they feel about themselves. Even if you tell them they are not well dressed, or their makeup is not well made, it won’t change much about how they feel. But those who do not feel good always seem to have an issue with how they look and are more prone to feeling bad when told they don’t look good.

I have always felt good about myself, and because of this I did not use to care about how I look. So long my clothes are covering my body I was pretty much okay. But as I continued to grow and get into relationships, I realized that there were those who cared about how I look. For that reason I started dressing to look good for them. Not necessarily because I want to, but because it makes them happy and their happiness makes me feel fulfilled. If they tell me I look good and someone else tells me I look awful, I would not care a bit so long as they like it.
Note this is not me seeking validation from anyone, rather it is me knowing that I do not care what anyone thinks of me, however I care about making those around me happy. If looking good makes them happy, then I will look good for them, not even because I want to impress them, but just because my looking good makes them happy. This does not mean I will wear what I do not like because of them, it means I will be as comfortable as I want to and still look good and elegant for them… At the end of the day, everyone is happy.
