lately, a few people have pointed out to me, both over the net and real life people, that i am too hard on myself. my initial reaction is, you don�t know me, but i never say this because i get �the look� from people, and it just perpetuates the circular argument and i�m not about to go pointing out my less obvious flaws.

but from now on i am going to make a concerted effort to be kinder to myself. i am not a complete loser, i do have some talents and i am loved, that should be enough. and it will be. things aren�t that bad, i�m not that bad. who knows, perhaps after the 10 gizillionth time i have repeated that i will begin to believe it.
