Without taking anything away from the great thread that Tiggs started, in which people posted pictures of themselves, I do have to say that It seems to have started a chain reaction around here, and not necessarily a positive one. One of the things I loved about coming here, was the confidence in the air that almost everyone had about themselves. They started threads that were funny, serious, thought provoking, and even down right silly( my favorites). But it seems that lately all anyone can focus on is that they think they are ugly, or not meeting some imaginary standard that we have allowed society to thrust on us.
We are all different, yet we are all the same. I could care less what you look like, but if you find a way to touch my heart, then to me you are beautiful. We all have things about ourselves that we don't like, but that is also what makes us unique. I am just very saddened every time I come up on a post in which yet another person is downing themselves. Come on people, there are enough cruel people out there just waiting to belittle you, must you do it to yourselves? I think this board has some of the most intelligent, funny, and interesting people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. And I have yet to see one person that I would think of as ugly. If I met you in real life, I would feel the same way..
Can we please lighten up on ourselves, and have faith in who you are, and your beauty will shine through..
Just my 2 cents....
