“Do I look good?”
Dec 11th, 2006 by Ali
“I don’t like me in any of these pictures.”
“You like all the pictures of me looking like a cow.”
“I look ugly in this picture.”
“Look how fat I look.”
I have been sitting at the living room table while on my laptop for the last hour and a half, listening to Amanda and Crystal navigate Facebook. This has not been a very pleasant experience. I have been searching for Christmas gifts. They, on the other hand, have certainly voiced their opinion on everyone they know, strangers they do not know, and their selves.
It’s impossible to not critique. It’s human. How we all stack up against each other can at times consume all of our time, but in the end, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s looks, friends, activities, life in general- we are never happy. I know I am/was never happy. Recently, I have tried really hard to get over the fact that I will always have some sort of double chin, my hair will always be akimbo, and my arms… well, let’s not get there. Put up “bad” pictures of me. If it’s what I look like there, I obviously was in public, so everyone saw me already.
I think you all look beautiful.
That was a very lovely entry, Ali. And for the record, I have always thought you are beautiful. You’re definitely the cutest person I know.
btw, i miss you
Oh honey, you’re too beautiful and you need to know that.
Now c’mere.
