My Eyes.

A small free-writing thing that was born very late last night. It's...not happy. Also...I think I did work for therapy without even realizing it...

My Eyes.

IM NOT SURE IF I WANT TO BOW DOWN TO YOUR AWESOMNESS OR HUG YOU!! I mean, you know you're beautiful, right? I've seen pictures, you're GORGEOUS.

They see the world in shades of antique ivory and mottled gold. This line is fucking beautiful. I have this urge to write it on my walls in really flowing cursive. Weird, right?

God! Stop being so friggin talented. You make the rest of us look bad.

AW, THANK YOU! My self-esteem/body image is an extremely complicated issue, but it can be summed up fairly well with a quote from one of my favorite movies, Pretty Woman. "People put you down enough, you start to believe it...The bad stuff is just easier to believe." It's definitely a work in progress, though.

True story, that is my favorite color combination. I was staring at my furniture when I wrote this and that's where most of the descriptive imagery came from. (And I love walls with flowing cursive painted across them. Not weird.)

Thanks. Your comment was just what I needed. ♥

This was beautiful.

I hope this doesn't make you feel weird or anything but I kinda of felt you were talking about people like me. I saw myself in parts of it, which is what I love about introspective pieces. Some texts are special to some people because they feel empathy with the writer.

You're an amazing writer, really. It goes beyond fics :D

Thank you! I think the way I was feeling that night is really universal. I know a lot of people, especially women, struggle with low self esteem. Which, that really sucks, because women are awesome.

I kind of don't want to say "glad you were able to relate" because I don't think anyone should feel bad about themselves like that, even though I do all the time so I will say...

Always remember how awesome you are. If you ever look in the mirror and see only flaws, remember that sometimes your eyes can lie to you.

Again, thank you so much.
