“I want to take a look one more time. I’m not going to see this again”
Change your language and change your mind.
Make problems…challenges.
Make mistakes…lessons.
Make health…harmony.
Make education…awareness.
Make death…transition.
Make God…life.
Make the rest up yourself.
Two of my girlfriends are always being told what great legs and butts they have, but no one says anything like that to me. I have glasses, and braces, and hair that cannot be tamed. I’m clever, but that’s it. I’m lonely; I feel ugly and insecure. I even made up a pretend holiday boyfriend to make myself seem cool—I don’t want to be a nerd! I want to feel empowered by my culture, and I want someone to like me. Is there anything I could do? [x]
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
