I love that even when I'm looking a hot mess, and like I stumbled up out of a cave, walked through the fires of hell, and then got stuck without an umbrella in a thunderstorm, I still get compliments on my hair. I'm averaging about 1 compliment per week, AVERAGE! I'm already at 3 within the past five days. In yo' face, pretty girls

I could have written some of this

-I worry that I'll never be loved again, I worry that I have never been loved in the first place,

This is a biggie for me too. Its just disheartening to think that a person you loved and thought loved you may not have been as invested as you thought. I always think this because I can't fathom doing what was done to me to someone I love. When I love it IS unconditional and it IS unwaivering. This is why in my mind I have never been loved because I don't believe you can wake up one day and turn that off. You may not like the person if they act like a jack ass or don't share your interest and values but I think you still either love or hate them. The opposite of love is apathy friend and I'd rather be hated than be invisible any day.

This is precisely where that particular worry comes from.

I SO feel you on this.

That worry journal is an excellent idea. I was in a better communciations class yesterday and the instructor suggested that you take a notebook with you when you go to listen to someone speak. . . and when you mind starts to drift off on all the things that you need to be doing, just jot them down real quick and that will free your mind up to focus on the speaker again!!

Let me know if it helps you any. . . . I am a worrier as well.

STUDENT LOANS. . . . *yuck* I feel like I should name mine student loans, they will be with me for many many many years. DAMN PRIVATE SCHOOLS!

Seriously!

I worry that I'll never be loved again, I worry that I have never been loved in the first place, I worry that there isn't enough strength in me to pass on unconditional love to my offspring one day

I worry about that a lot time and even more so I worry that I don't have any love left inside of me to give to anyone. It's just so aggravating and frustrating and sometimes the most loneliest feeling in the world. I've learned to live day by day.

I worry that I can't find a foundation that matches my skin color and yet doesn't break me out (i.e. MAC)

I had my foundation custom-blended at prescriptives. I love it and I don't break out either.

I also worry.
I worry that I ever feel comfortable in my skin.
I worry that I'll never accomplish some of the goals I've set for myself.
I worry that I'm living my life in vain.
I worry that I'll never figure out what I want to do with my life.

Let it out, sistah.

I worry about those exact same things.

Have you sampled any of those mineral powder foundations?

[truthinboots]

A little bit, and I haven't seen one that matches my skin tone yet.

Try Prescriptives
