[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 709490, member: 21572"] Ohhh, Copabanana, I feel awful reading your post. What I'd give right now to be able to give you a big warm hug and sit down with you over a cup of coffee. Forgive me if I overlook touching on all that you mentioned, but if I do we can always raise whatever points I may have failed to answer for you. First things first, and I don't want to sounds as though I'm a know-it-all or trying to push you to do something that's out of your comfort zone, but I'm a firm-believer in being yourself and allowing your beauty to shine-through as naturally as possible, and EVERYONE has beauty. :) I can't tell you how many times I have met women (way older than me) who were just average, everyday kind of women, but the manner in which they carried themselves, their outgoing nature, the way they smiled, and their ability to interact so warmly, made them seem like they were the most beautiful women in the world to me. Confidence is one of those things that can make or break a person, because being too overly confident sometimes comes across as arrogant, but allowing your inner-self to flourish is what I'm talking about. Even complete strangers respond to a smile or friendly wave, even if it does take them by surprise. I know you have so much of what I've already relayed to you, just from how you greeted me as a newbie on the forum! Wow! I felt so welcomed and happy! Something as simple as someone recognizing me for who I am. That's what I'm talking about my girl. I know you can loose that shell of yours and come out with conviction, it's just a matter of conditioning yourself to forget about the past and start concentrating on the future. You have so much life to live! We all do. I think it's commendable that so many of us have someone who we'd like to mirror, but individuality in my opinion is the most important asset of all, and all of us have that in us. Sure, flashy or dressy clothes help round-out the person wearing them, creating a sort of canvas for all to see, but turning on ones outgoing nature and friendliness, is in my view, where we should all be pushing our efforts. You are such a sweetie, Copa, so forget about the colour of your hair, forget about the style of your clothes, and forget about everything that doesn't come from within. Those things are simply the plain old frame that highlights the picture. It's what's behind the conservation glass that the picture frame displays that's important. I do pray you have a close-knit friend or two, or at best, a circle of quality people who you can chat with and bounce ideas off of. We all need that even if it's not all the time, having someone you can count on... even just one single person is important for times such as this. And sure, I like the idea of wanting to be someone else, but only for a brief moment, only for a fraction of time. Instead, just be you - as in yourself. :) [/QUOTE]
