I could have had a very nice after school special about "tricking" everyone into thinking I was skinny and arriving with my fat self and people falling in love with me anyway.

But I walked into that party *expecting* to not be good enough. Because it was what I knew. It was what was comfortable for me. It was what fit my history.

Jee-ZUS, Medusa, I hope that, since then, you have come to KNOW that when you walk into a room being who you are, people fall in love with you right and left - your smile, laugh, voice, serious no-bullshit talk, all-round presence, what you say, the vibes you put off, the shiny happy feelings and amazing energy you bring into a room. Not to mention the flawless makeup and hair and amazing outfits (but those are secondary to the feel and the WHO you are).

Size of body has nothing to do with it. Size of character and amazing powerful positive presence has everything to do with it. I harbor a secret case of Medusa envy, even though I really do like myself and feel lucky that I think my own presence fits me peachy keen.

Okay, back to today's topic...someday I will actually keep current on threads...
