It started slowly.
A wrinkle here, a crease there.
I thought it was just tiredness, or maybe the lighting.
But soon, I couldn’t ignore it-my eyes looked older than I felt.
Puffiness, deep lines, saggy skin.
Every morning, I’d wake up and stare into the mirror, wishing I could rewind the clock.
I tried to cover it with makeup, but nothing really helped.
Concealer would crease.
Eye creams I bought online felt nice at first, but after weeks-no change.
I stopped taking selfies.
I even started avoiding video calls with the camera on.
Something about the way my eyes looked just made me feel... less like myself.
It was affecting how I showed up in life.
And honestly, I was tired of pretending I didn’t care.
