There will come a day—an unexpected moment in the mirror—
when the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming.
Will they smile at each other, or flinch?
This is the hidden work of beauty: in every small decision to align your outer expression with your inner evolution.
Makeup can’t fake integrity.
But it can honor it.
So we tend to the self—today, tomorrow, every day—
for the peace of one day saying:
“Ah, there you are. I’ve been becoming you all along.”
