Maybe it's a girl thing or maybe it's just me, but I don't think so, I think everyone can remember that moment in their lives, that moment when they looked in the mirror and decided that they, the way they were, wasn't good enough. Whether it's too fat, too ugly, or mundane, I will always remember that moment when I looked at myself and for the first time, wasn't okay with or merely ambivalent about who I was. Even if it doesn't become a defining part of who you now are, for some it is something that passes...I think no matter who you are it's one of those moments in life that forever changes you, it's the moment you lose your childhood.
I remember that exact time in my life...it was just after christmas one year many years ago that I decided I just wasn't going to cut it, and I have never been the same.
And every now and then, I wish I could go back.
