In the quiet space between 19 and 20, I’m learning that growth doesn’t require perfection-only care, consistency, and patience.This is a reflection on becoming, gratitude, and trusting the glow that comes with time.
There is a quiet space between 19 and 20 that no one really talks about.It isn’t loud or celebratory.It feels more like a pause-a breath held gently in the chest.
I’m here with gratitude for what has carried me, and hunger for what im still becoming.
My number one skincare rule has always been to cleanse. Overtime, I’ve realized that growing feels the same way. Like regimen that evolves with you-with your body, your mind, your life. As you grow, impurities surface. You notice them. You learn how to care for them.You learn how to control them.
But there is always that in-between space.The moment wherre you’re trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
That’s the space I’m within now.
It feels like a gentle pause- one that reminds me of how much I’ve already become, and how far I’ve come.

Skincare reminds you to live. To care for yourself without demanding perfection.I’ve been learning how to do that-slowly, intentionally.
So much so that I cant stop pondering the space between 19 and 20.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I dont need clear skin.I just need consistency. A routine that allows me to glow over time.
Its something people forget- that care compounds.
Pour into yourself.
I’m learning to do the same with my life.
happy birthday, me.
