if you could just crack the shell open...
You know, when we went out at prom, there was this girl wearing the most hideous green dress we'd ever seen. We spent a good while making fun of her, quietly of course and from a few tables away.
I saw her later in the bathroom and I said, "I love your dress! It's so pretty." She smiled and thanked me and when she left, my friends all laughed because we had been saying how ugly it was.
But you know what? i didn't do it in a Regina George/Means Girls kinda way. I'm not like that, most of the time.
I said it because I knew that if all of my friends were saying how ugly it was, all of her friends were probably saying that same thing, and if she didn't already know, she would by the end of the night.
And I thought that if for nothing else, at least once she deserved to feel good about herself.
I was told today that I need to work on forgiveness. I can't forgive others much better than I can forgive myself. I guess I can try though. Any suggestions on how?
PS: This is what I looked like at Prom, in case you were wondering.
