But so much harder to realize that what I knew all along was true.

You *really* hit a nerve with that piece, it was raw, the shame I think is what it was, or what I relate it too. There have been times I've thought I looked really good, and maybe to someone else I would have.. I don't know, but after a rejection, everything metamorphisizes to the ugly and pathetic, the curves are flab, the carefully applied lipstick is garish, the flirtations - foolish. That's what I took from it anyway.
