I’m sure you’ve all seen this but just in case you haven’t, doing my bit by spreading it..
I actually did some make-up work for a Refuge campaign about 7 years ago. It was for the Sun newspaper and shot by Rankin. Hearing the tales of what had happened to these women, as I was making them over, was harrowing. Of all the make-up work I’ve ever done, I will always remember them as being the most grateful and appreciative. Just me putting a little bit of slap on them made them so happy and they kept thanking me repeatedly after. A stark contrast to my behaviour the other day (admittedly it was the day after I had returned from a festival, so I was feeling fragile) where I almost cried because I wasn’t happy with my make-up that was forced upon me at an event. I don’t think I would have minded so much if I was just going to go straight home after, but it was because I had another event following with a well known celebrity and I had to attend it with this make-up on (think pictures and everything). But anyway, thinking back about that time all those years ago definitely puts it in perspective for me. My behaviour was #spoiltbratproblems.

Lina,
It’s okay to worry about little problems. As my mom (and my therapist and my mom’s therapist) have said numerous times, “If we spend all day thinking and trying to to stop all of the tragedies in all of the world, we’d end up destroying ourselves.” There are bigger problems in the world, but if we don’t tale time to have our own troubles, how are we supposed to help the world?
i agree that life is not small and doesnot end up like this everyone finds it way to live one or the other way just have hope
