Sometimes I'm more comfortable in my skin (not totally, b/c my body type will always have me longing to be different) & other times I feel like the most awkward piece of shit in the room
 I never really know where I fall, but I guess that starts & ends w/ me. I just wanna feel cozy about ME already, isn't that supposed to happen automatically after 30?? 
 I remember a time when I was about 14, there was a photo at school of me next to a girl called Sage. She was pretty. A boy looked at that photo and said how beautiful Sage was, and that I looked "(long pause) different". My teacher in grade 12 singled me out in class to say I would be stunning when I was older - which I took to mean I sure wasn't at the time Nobody ever said I was pretty.
I feel OK about myself now, sort of, suddenly people are complimenting me, yet I can't help but be dubious still  .
I really DID think I was ugly for the longest time. No boys ever asked me out until I was about 24. | |
