search for the fountain of youth
a vain waste of time

Fountain
I added text art and effects to the base image using Pixlr. You are welcome to share the resulting Haiga, but please credit Cara Hartley/Ornery Owl if you do. A link back to this blog would also be appreciated.
I spent a couple hundred dollars a month on makeup and cosmetic treatments when I was younger. I know some people enjoy wearing makeup, but for me, it was a sign of my deep insecurity. I haven't worn makeup in close to 25 years.
It isn't that I woke up one day thinking I was ever so beautiful. I don't think I'm beautiful. Quite the opposite, in fact. What I do think is it shouldn't matter as much as it does, and I've run out of fucks to give for other people's opinions on my appearance.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
