I wear makeup when I go out, but if it’s a home day, I don’t bother. I see no reason to get all made up if I’m just going to be laying around the house in sweats.
Honestly, the latest lie I told was about being too busy to hang out with a friend when I actually needed some quiet time to recharge after a hectic week. It wasn’t meant to hurt anyone, just a little white lie to preserve my energy.
One thing my mother still does for me is cook my favorite home-cooked meal whenever I visit. It’s a small act of love that not only fills my stomach but also fills my heart with nostalgia and comfort.
