Hi Racer,
I agree that it is hurtful to base my self esteem on something that I cannot control. The negative part of me says, eh, so what I hurt myself in many ways what's another?
No, I don't believe I'm beautiful, inside or outside. I'm a fading star, if I'm a star at all, though I thank you for seeing things in me that I cannot. I do value your opinion, because you are intelligent and insightful, and I'll bet you deny both of those. See, how hard it is to not look in the mirror and see the ugly witch? And the mirror is cracked because I looked in it...
I think what your mother would say about you in regards to the guys you dated was just plain rotten. My mother, oddly enough, was the opposite: *are you sure about him?* Then again, she loves and spoils my brother, so I'm not sure I can trust her in regards to relationships.
You wrote: My precious friend, you're worth so much more than you offer yourself. Maybe if you could offer more of it to yourself, you'd get more from outside, too. It's worth trying.
That made me cry and you know how much I hate crying. Thank you for being my friend, and for believing in me. I just believe in anything positive right now, it's okay to believe for me. Maybe I'll pick up the vibes.
