They forget that we look the way we look because that is how we are SUPPOSED to look.

She constantly reinforced those ideas in me (maybe because my parents divorced when I was little? maybe just because?) so I did have it as a part of my upbringing. <br /><br />On another note, I do feel that I have a great sense of Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678769832792201034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641879484161836484.post-43975363990447997402011-10-28T21:29:03.597-04:002011-10-28T21:29:03.597-04:00I had to come here first as soon as I had a chance...I had to come here first as soon as I had a chance because we titled our posts so similarly.<br />I love what you wrote.<br />I'm really curious about how your felt growing up and how much positive reinforcement your parents gave you. Basically, do you have this depth of self acceptance "in spite of" your childhood, or partly because of it.<br />I believe you came in with a lot of teresahttp://momgrooves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641879484161836484.post-52067327856249686402011-10-28T21:01:45.482-04:002011-10-28T21:01:45.482-04:00That was great, Amanda.

I love your attitude and perspective with respect to your self-image. The way you describe it as being "made this way on purpose" really resonated with me, and I'm going to remember that concept when I find I'm getting down on myself for one reason or another.
