You're very kind. Actually, my parents were not so great. I spent my childhood like many of us- beat up, bullied, and abused. I had to figure things out as an adult. Once I told my SO that I was lazy, because I had trouble with many of the social constrict of day to day life, like lots of time with my makeup or fussing over my car. He said I wasn't lazy at all- I often work 50-60 hrs a week- and I spend time on what really matters to me. The idea that the world needs more makeup, designer purses and spotless vehicles, instead of bedraggled artists, or busy parents, or whatever. Cultivate beautiful spirits. Be kind to everyone, because you might really fall in love with someone society deems "ugly". We live in shallow worlds. That's why most of these posters keep saying, oh, buy new clothes, get a makeover, etc. Maybe that might be fun, but it's just external. |

Dang girl you are stronger than I am - at least my parents were supportive for the most part. Sounds like you not only had to build your self up Because of the shallowness and cruelty outside the home but also had to teach yourself about self worth in other areas. Yes that lazy Quote is nonsense. Coco Channel was poor to begin with, but also fairly attractive. She worked so hard in a man's world, and I admire Her but I do not agree with her outlook on life, she became hard and driven. And let's not forget she is French, now there is a society Impressed by outward beauty, but will accept you, if you spend time and effort to be as awesome as possible. Do we have time? Not As much as the French do ma Cherie. But getting back to it. I simply want to say, I can go on happily in this state, if shallow, thoughless People didn't insult me, I don't understand why they are so needy, why they have to pull others down. I have no need to get in with the in crowd, I love my freedom. Still one more thing, unattractive people quite often get paid less for the Same work, and get passed up for promotions, etc. I believe it's on par with gender and race discrimination. And that's a sad bit of reality. |
