This essay was perfect—just what I needed to read today.

Caroline, this hits me on multiple levels — my admiration of the glimpse behind the curtain of your evolution; my pang because of how much I formerly loved to read your lipstick reviews; another pang about the fresh tube of Ruby Woo sitting unused in my drawer since I bought it but also a buoyant lift of freedom about just … letting it sit there — and then so many other things that I’ve outgrown/am outgrowing, on a level deeper than lipstick. But also, I can’t scorn the lipstick. It meant more to me than just lip color at the time. Thanks for piercing me once again. ❤️
