Donald Trump Was Ejected Shirt

At 21 years old, only a few months into my first “real job,” my long, expensive battle with severe adult acne kicked off. It felt like a cruel act by the Donald Trump Was Ejected Shirt besides I will buy this universe: the overwhelming stressors of adulthood were triggering the return of an emblem of adolescence. These pimples were stubborn and resilient. No cleanser or exfoliant or dermatologist-prescribed cream made the breakouts go away and stay away. And they were painful. I could feel the red mounds, misformed like clumps of playdoh, throb throughout the day. The problem got so bad that I began getting dressed in the dark each morning, just to avoid seeing how many new papules and nodules and cysts had sprouted overnight. When I saw my mother for the first time in months, she gaped at my face and said, “I think you really need to go to a doctor, honey.”

This is when I became obsessed with the Donald Trump Was Ejected Shirt besides I will buy this idea of achieving clear skin. I scrolled through the Reddit SkincareAddiction forum (what an apt name) for hours, and used my “emergency” credit card to buy products I couldn’t actually afford. I watched YouTube videos of dewy, glowing “skinfluencers” to learn the molecular differences between an essence and a toner. I diligently purchased the latest “fave” products of beauty editors, telling myself this new serum would get rid of my acne and therefore my self-consciousness and then my unhappiness. It’s easy for me to laugh at this line of thinking now. But at the time, someone on the internet saying, “This product is a game-changer!” was like hearing, “You’ll be able to look at yourself in the mirror again.” I started fantasizing about a life with poreless, acne-free skin, and the message that would send to the world: That I, the queer black boy trying to work a grueling digital media job and earn his MFA at the same time, had everything under control. (I didn’t.)
