Good evening all! I hope this post finds you well. As I gear up for my next date - next Monday with "J", I figured I'd share some thoughts on dating and self-esteem. I'm sure most of us wonder what the opposite sex is looking for in a partner...but until you love yourself...dating can be down-right difficult.
At around 25 I had myself a good 'ol quarter-life crisis. Oh yes. Drastically changed the way I looked and hoped I'd feel better about myself. I assumed with outward changes, men would like me better. The truth became that until I liked myself more...no one even noticed.
In recent times, I've even considered the addition of lip augmentation and perhaps breast implants...however, I can tell you that I just ate something that I must be allergic to, because I sit at my computer with HUGE lips right now. They are so swollen from the reaction, I can't even smile correctly! Plus, I look ridiculous - I mean these inflated lips do not fit my face. We can thank our lucky stars that my throat did not close up!
So how can we feel good about ourselves and therefore project the confidence needed to snag a man? I say, everyone has different taste - some guys hate red heads and short hair and small boobs and thin lips...but I say, if they do, I'm just not the gal for them. The good news is, someone out there loves that stuff, so I'll wait for them. Plus, my charming personality is hard to resist :) Holler.
The conclusion - a recent food allergy / lip plumping event has set me straight on loving what I got. Hallelujah.
