As I stepped into the blinding light of my bedroom, the mirror reflected back an image that was almost unrecognizable from the girl who used to live there. Gone were the days of conservative dresses and long hair; now I wore my neon pink double buns high on my head, a stark contrast to my bare skin covered only by bedazzled lingerie. The once shy and introverted girl had given way to a confident and outgoing young woman with an insatiable appetite for all things sparkly and over-the-top.
My love affair with bedazzling began innocently enough - I would add rhinestones to my boots or a tiara to my hair, just for fun. But it soon spiralled out of control as I became obsessed with covering myself in as much glittery goodness as possible. My family thought I was crazy, but they humoured me, even if they did roll their eyes whenever they saw me walking down the hallway.
I know some people think my love of bedazzling is a phase, that I'll grow out of it eventually. But for now, at least, this is who I am: a 20-year-old woman with an unrelenting passion for all things sparkly and over-the-top. And if you're here to judge me, then maybe you should be looking in the mirror yourself - because honestly, honey, you could use a little bit of sparkle in your life too.
