To impress myself...

You think I own 78 lipsticks to impress a man who can't tell the difference between "Ruby Woo" and "Russian Red"??

I wear lipstick, only to impress myself and say, "damn bitch, you look fine today!"

Regret...

I don't have nothing to regret at all in the past, except that I might've unintentionally hurt somebody else or something.

Pink...

If hot red is for anger and rage, pink is the color of a soft burning – hot enough to light up the dark corners of sadness and grief, but cool enough to be tender, innocent, open.
