i have freedom. i have my self. the self i've wanted back.
with counseling i'm gaining more respect for myself and my body image but it's a difficult struggle, especially when it is so easy to get confidence from feeding off of the compliments of others. but all it takes is one criticism to break it all down. so why do i want to know?
i wish someone would just tell me how to dress, what to improve about myself, what tone to talk in, how to do my hair... my own little stylist to carry around and tell me what will make me feel the most beautiful and confident. but i don't. i have a mirror and a critical mind that says 'wow you look like crap and it's gonna take forever to grow your hair out and you'll have to gain about twenty pounds to not look like a boobless twig". oh the female mind...blah.
