We all have hopes, dreams, fears, and insecurities. I would look at thin women and believe they had the perfect life. Years into my life, I understood everyone had issues. Those thin women also had hopes, dreams, fears, and insecurities. I thought being pretty and thin would make my world perfect. HA!! Even though I was tall, big, and felt like I stood out like a sore thumb (By-the-way, why does a sore thumb stick out?). I was with most other people in wishing my life could be different. Thin, tall, fat, short, every color, and/or every lifestyle. We all wish, at some point our lives, that we could be different. Just if? What if?
We are one big orchestra, all playing our parts. Each person filling a space with their own concerns.
It takes a long time to get to acceptance of ourselves. To see how similar we are to all those that we used to fear. Humility. No less than and no better than. Today I accept who I am and my limitations and I do what I am able to do to play my part.
Life is good!
