I am totally hot

I am a the result of lots and lots of self-help, self-discovery, and now total self-absorption.

There once was a time where I didn’t feel so cool and cute. Between ages 12 and well into my 20’s I grappled with self-doubt and self-love. I thought I was pretty-ish but didn’t comprehend why I didn’t have countless suitors begging for my affection. I thought I was smart-ish, but assumed everything I knew or did was common, contrived and wrong. And although my sweet jr high dance moves seemed to tell another tale…

…I hardly felt remotely sexy-ish.

I assume this tale of woe rings true for many. But now I am moving away fromthe period of one’s life where you are getting comfortable in your skin, style and sense of being. Those formative years where your try on various persona’s hoping for the perfect fit. The years in which you try so hard to love yourself, which is fiercely challenged since you hardly know who you really are.
