Quote by Carmen Reid
Very sweetly, he always told her he loved her just the way she was. Although, honestly he had no idea. She shuddered to think what she would really look like if she stopped waxing, plucking, highlighting, manicuring, applying make-up anddressing with care and concentration.
Summary
This quote reflects the insecurity of the speaker about her appearance and the discrepancy between her partner's admiration and her own perceptions. It highlights the pressure society places on individuals, particularly women, to maintain certain beauty standards through various grooming and styling practices. Despite her partner's claim to love her as she is, the speaker feels the need to constantly engage in these rituals to meet societal expectations, leading her to question how she would truly appear without them.
