That I'm legit stalking PLP's threads. (I'm trying to lurk here, woman. Why do you have so many great threads!? 
)
Woke up early in the morning with the reminder that I have to throw the garbage out. As I was scrambling around to change into my track pants, I glanced at the full-length mirror in my room and just for a moment stopped to stare.
For the very first time in my life, my body looked beautiful to me. All of it, its planes and curves, both exposed and covered, just looked great to me. It was a major milestone, as I have constantly struggled with body image and confidence issues all my life. Raised in a culture which denounces physical beauty over the mind or soul on one side, while being bombarded by Western standards of beauty - thanks to globalization - on the other side, I was one confused kitten.
Loving myself has been hard. But today's milestone felt good.
One day, I'll get there.

That I can walk away and not care about what's said in my absence.

I can purse my lips and hold that for 10 minutes. Deep, I know.

Some people find me blunt and obnoxious.

I learned that I'm so self-conscious on this site, I just usually avoid saying anything, despite being on here every day.

I have learned that I can indeed sit for hours on hold with insurance companies and still smile when they finally decide to answer.

That I only truly care about 3 things. Getting cross faded as fuck, getting daily lap dances and eating Spicy Shin Black Noodle soup.

That I am incredibly naive. I need to be harder, tougher, and stop making so many allowances for people.

I have shortcomings and vulnerabilities that are only revealed within the context of a relationship.

There's an interesting masculine/feminine energy discussion going on over on the Fet & Sex board. I need to be more intentional about how i use my masculine energy and not allow it to become a subconcious defense mechanism that i pull out when I'm feeling threatened.
(Pulling it out on purpose because somebody tripped my switch switch is another matter entirely.)

I laughed...and I apologize for it. But reading this...and then your name...well it made me laugh. Sorry for being an ass.

Remember how the Puritans would name their babies after characteristics that they wanted them to have? Constance, Prudence, Temperance... What if we picked usernames that reflected something we wanted to become instead of who we are now?

I don't have to be afraid of how I feel, or feel less than just because I'm me.

I don't have the energy to work like I did in my late 20s. Or rather, I can but my recovery time is just longer. But, this doesn't bother me - I'll take that natural consequence of being a little older for the benefits in experience and better temperament.
I'm becoming comfortable in what I do for a living, and that I'll always look back what I was doing a couple of years back and not like what I saw then - this is sign of growth, change, and improvement.
My body issues are mellowing. I can put on weight without feeling awful - if I want to, I'll just commit to losing the weight, no stresses anymore.
Very broadly, I feel more mellow.
