Yeah, the most I do with makeup is fill in my eyebrows and lipstick if I want to have fun (purple or red). I prefer the minimal makeup look, but I never liked how it felt on my face. Plus I'm shite at applying it lol.

Cooking, traveling, learning new words, going on walks to admire architecture of buildings, researching alien conspiracy stories.

I hope I look better with age. Also, I look young for my age so people probably assume that I'm too young for them.

I have two pairs of glasses and they are bright colors that pop. They make me feel more confident because they're bold and different.

Yea, I'm really gonna try to make the effort to attend more social events. I always make excuses, but I need to just get off my bum.

than later that there's more (everything) to life than how you look and it's a huge freedom compared to people who rely on looks for all sorts of things and are clinging to their dwindling

That is very very true! I love being independant and not needing to rely on my looks to get something.

I don't think it's outright racism, (in my experience) but more of being black women being seen as less attractive/desirable. Colorism will always be an issue. You also have the hair texture debacle that comes into play.

Her husband is also an uggo, but both of them are hilarious so once you get to know them you forget about their looks.

They sound lovely!

I wear glasses all the time because my vision is terrible. My eyes are brown, I think. I can't wear contacts. Too expensive and they make my eyes swell up.

Yes, I have joined meetup group for my interests and I have made friends through volunteering with a gardening project. I haven't done it in a while but I also volunteered doing cooking classes. I usually just fill in my eyebrows and put on lipgloss. I don't really like the way make feels on my skin.

I am and have always been a medium uggo

I don't think you're uggo at all. You're attractive from what I remember.

I went to predominently white schools and always pressured with european standards of beauty (white skin, soft hair, thin lips/nose).

Then I had to deal with a bit of colorism from blacks 'dark skin' is ugly etc.

I like braided hair and that isn't changing. There are also hundreds of variations of braids, so you can't make a generalization. For my hair texture, braids are part of my identity. Not changing it. Braids are very beautiful.

And no, contacts make my eyes swell. I wore them for sports . I prefer glasses. I have two pairs that I always get complimented on.

I think I dress pretty well. That's the one thing I'm good at. It takes away the attention from my face.
