When I was a kid, I was very excited to put on make up for the first time in my life. I went to a dollar store and bought mascara and an eyelash curler. Even though I didn’t know how to use the curler properly, I did my best to curl my eyelashes with it. However, my eyelashes were way too short to curl up. I ended up pinching my eyelid instead and it was so painful I cried. I still vividly remember the emptiness and sense of defeat.
