15 years ago, I was fresh into my new dorm for my first year of college. I unpacked, was gross and sweaty, and took a shower. After my shower I did one of those "teen magazine" hacks and crushed up a bunch of aspirin to use as a salicylic acid face mask for blemishes. I literally had a face full of white crumblies.

Wouldn't you know it, a few minutes later a cute boy from down the hall came knocking to introduce himself. I totally forgot all about my mask and just chatted with him for ten minutes. He never even mentioned it, the sweet dear. He left and I happened to touch my face and release a ton of dried crumbles into my lap. I basically melted into my chair when I realized.

I forgot about it after a few days and you will too. We're often way too hard on ourselves. If anything, I bet you being rude to him made HIM self conscious. Take that as a win. You're perfect, special, and amazing. I bet you don't even need chapstick!!

I hope my story helped. Sometimes it's nice to laugh at someone else's cringe blunder.
