And appreciate it?<BR/><BR/>With the people I love, it's the imperfections that I hold most dear. Well, some of them. ;)<BR/><BR/>Sam,<BR/><BR/>If you ever go to the UK, I can give you a crash course in swearing. It'll be fun!<BR/><BR/>Jeanne,<BR/><BR/>I honestly have no idea why we let other people tell us what we're supposed to look like and who we're supposed to be.<BR/><BR/>There are some gems out there, even male ones! If only the women who looked like supermodels got married, the human race would die out pretty damn fast.Carrie Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569839838912988783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-39312381891776080062007-07-05T14:45:00.000-04:002007-07-05T14:45:00.000-04:00I second mary - we all are already beautiful.So my...I second mary - we all are already beautiful.<BR/><BR/>So my question to the world is:<BR/>Why are we allowing ourselves to be ruled by some ideal criteria of beauty? <BR/><BR/>Why are we going with the lemming masses on who is beautiful (thin, fat, curvy, stick, whatever) and who is not?<BR/><BR/>When are we as the human race going to collectively wisen up and realize that each of us can have an opinion on our own??? Without succombing to the crowd's mentality (as published by the latest magazine/newspaper/tabloid/TV/movie/website)????Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032617457209218758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-73558112851060920032007-07-05T14:12:00.000-04:002007-07-05T14:12:00.000-04:00Bollocks to that, I learned a new term!Bollocks to that, I learned a new term!samsi77https://www.blogger.com/profile/14722162473483919292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-1028716004473337232007-07-05T13:41:00.000-04:002007-07-05T13:41:00.000-04:00"why can't we be beautiful just the way we are?" W..."why can't we be beautiful just the way we are?"<BR/><BR/> We already are!<BR/><BR/> Be you and don't compete with the others as if you are the best prize for some man. pick me, pick me! <BR/> Screw that! That'll get you Mr. Wrong! hehehe<BR/> Instead be true to who you are, be patient, and keep working on being as comfortable with yourself as you can. <BR/> It's really sick wherever they expect woman to conform to what a man desires. UGH! Sad that friendship and a connection of the heart isn't the only way we all live in these times. Life is hard enough without feeling we are mere objects to be used and admired. <BR/> I am woman, hear me roar! <BR/> Or howl!maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476646540007179475noreply@blogger.com
