"Mirrors show us what we look like, not who we are."

Looking back growing up as a teenager I was never considered a plus size.  I was an active child always playing basketball or running or even bike riding with the neighborhood kids.  However back then I always had low self confidence because my younger sister Jennifer was like a 0 or 2 and here I was a size 12/14.    I remember just always wondering why she got to be so small and I was so "big".   I don't think it really started to bother me until I was a freshman, during this time your body is already going through crazy emotions with puberty and now to through this in the mix oh boy!    I remember going school clothes shopping with my parents and her and I did not want to come out in anything as I thought my sister Jennifer is going to look better than me because she is so "small."  Why didn't I look like my baby sister? Why was I not a size 2? What was wrong with me?  I just remember just feeling so bad about myself and quite honestly...

Too good to be true?

Unhappily Ever After.....

  Being in a relationship is an amazing thing if you have found the right person. However if they are not the one for you, you will slowly see yourself  changing.  So how do you know if your with the right person? We obviously all have different views on this.  To me the right person for you brings out the best in you always.  They will be your support system, your shoulder to cry on, lover,fighter,provider.  Now don't get me wrong I am 100% independent but we all crave that security and intimacy to make us feel whole.  My past relationships had some of these qualities but not all and something always felt off, was it just me or did they feel it to? How can you be all these things for someone if you don't feel the same way towards them? You can't force the heart to do anything the heart wants what it wants.  The most important aspect in all of this is self love! If you do not love yourself you cannot love someone else as you should.
