(((Evening)))

I am now 45 and just learning to accept..no not accept, but try to love myself. Healing does come from the inside out. When I was your age people always told me how beautiful I was, but all I could see was ugly, fat, not good enough. Your childhood follows you and if it was a bad one, it distorts your self image.

If I had a do-over....I would have gotten some counseling to deal with my self-hatred...I may still do that.

The message I want to convey to you is..please don't waste your life hating yourself. Talk to someone and find out what is at the root of that feeling. Sweetie, looks fade as you age, but beauty truly does reside in the soul.
