Funny things is, I have self esteem in things that I'm opinionated about or in the 16 years I was a legal secretary. I even have self esteem and pride in the way I raised my daughter. I'm just hung up on the physical side of my flaws.
Someone close in my life tries to make me think it doesn't matter, but I know it matters greatly to him
OMG....not only are these people amazing to put themselves in the window, but I think the sculptor deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for Heart. I could have said...he deserves it for compassion...but I don't think that's why he made the structures.
Obviously he is a compassionate person to do this but more importantly I think he wanted people like me to see that not being a perfect size 8 isn't the end of the world even though I think it is. Of course there's no comparison of my imperfection to their disability.
I have many imperfections, mainly my weight. I'm not sure if my confidence/self esteem would allow me to pose for the window. I would have nothing to lose to pose but I don't think anything would be accomplished either. There are millions of overweight people. They would see me in the window and probably wonder why I did it.
There is a reason why I would do it but I'd rather not say it on here.
I don't want to hijack your thread Tom but I heard a story this morning on CNN about a giraffe that was killed in Copenhagen just because it didn't have the right gene to reproduce.
They killed the giraffe in front of a crowd of people, with children, and then cut it up for the lions to eat
The crowd watched as the lions tore apart this giraffe who was perfectly healthy.
Jack Hanna said if he knew ahead of time that this was going to happen he would have shipped the giraffe to his zoo in Ohio.
In general, I think men take longer to heal. They take breakups very seriously. They aren't ready to move on to fall in love again too quickly.
SOME women may heal quicker. It took me 8 years to get over him.
The thing that works for me in a breakup is to remember the bad times rather then how happy you were with that person. That lasts for about 15 minutes and then it's on to again.
I've heard people say they won't get a dog because they know the dog would only live 10-13 years and in order to avoid heartbreak of the dog's death, they live without the most important love they could ever have, that of a dog.
Falling in love with a human is much the same thing. With relationships not lasting long in this era, you could say you won't fall in love again in order to avoid a broken heart.

RE: Perfection Exists, Can You See It?
I can't respond to this BB. I think you might know why.
