Did your mom ever show you how to do makeup?

Or talk to you about boys or dating?
Talk to you about yourself as a young lady?
About what to expect from relationships, how to respect yourself..?
Hold you/comfort you when you were sad?
Do girls nights together?


I longed for any of those things. Unfortunately , never had or got even one.
I didn't even wear any makeup, until I was 17. Most girls now are applying it by 11 or 12 years old. I wonder how much more of life I could live with ease, with confidence etc. if any need or want had actually been filled by my 'mother'. It really makes me sad , but I'm trying to push onward and upward in any way.

Nope. My Mama never wore makeup. She never dated until I had married and settled. She was a free spirit, a hard working, hands on woman of the earth. She taught me a lot, but nothing about being what is socially considered feminine.

I'm glad she didn't. It saved my skin, it saved me money and self consciousness. I feel beautiful without all that and I found my own femininity.
