How self-acceptance became Cassandra Bankson's routine
“Perfection doesn’t equal self-love. You have to love yourself anyways."
I wanted to be seen for who I was, but this was easier said than done. It took me so much time to accept myself.
"I thought back to when I was 14. That's when I first started getting into makeup, but I wasn't wearing it to hide. I wore makeup for the colors I could paint on myself I saw my face as a canvas that could hold beauty, not something for covering up."
When you accept who you are, you will have more direction on your journey. You will get there. Be gentle and kind to yourself.
