Something fragile

Look. I'll say it. I hate my body. I wish I were someone else. I just want to be who I am. And who I am is someone I can never be. You all know me for someone. Someone who can help you and I can. But that doesn't make me content with who I as a person am. I, like many other ladies, just want to be told I'm  pretty because I never get told that at home or anywhere else. I, just like many other people, like talking with people. And I, like all people, have my own insecurities. I think I'm ugly. I forget people love me. I think to myself what am I doing here, one of billions, uselessly drifting through space. I am a fragile person and like to be handled gently. I love all of you here and that is why I'm telling you all this. It's just something I finally told my soon to be husband a couple weeks ago and I thought more people should know. So thank you for listening. That is all. Thank you.

This place is something special. I thank all of you for being here for me and for each other

Thank you for sharing with us. Always remember there those who deserve you to be around and in your life. I personally know how you feel. Pi day was my birthday and I could not have felt worse. But there is always worse.
And I did mean what I said before. The outside is what is important to you. But the inside is what is of value:)

We're here for you.

*hugs*

I'm the same way ☺️

Thank yoou guys sooo much. I just had a bad week last week and I was tired. Thank you. Its one of the best things to wake up to. 😊

We are all here for you sparkle ninja. And we all think you are beautiful.

I am honestly surprised you are not told all the time.

A lot of guys won't tell girls that they are pretty because they think tons of other guys already do, and they don't want you to see them as yet another one of "those guys". My wife majors in psychology if you would like someone to talk to, I'm sure she would listen.

Also, my grandma passed away today and I learned this:

Even though you are one of billions of people, one of trillions of life forms on this planet, there is always someone that thinks about you. Someone that would care if you left. No matter how insignificant you think your impact on the world is, being alive is one of the most profound and wonderful experiences anything can have.
This is what my grandma told me last night before she passed in her sleep:
"You are alive. You, of all of the living things that ever existed anywhere in time and space are here, and you can live. No matter what anyone tells you about your body or mind, you own this unparalleled probability of being alive and you owe it to yourself and the world to live to the fullest potential. Live for yourself, because you have to live the life you have, no one else does."

I did too actually

Thought u mentioned you have a BF?

Reading the original post: it seems like something is lacking in your relationship

Especially if you don't feel pretty

I must admit, you are astonishingly pretty. I have problems with self image too, unfortunately. We are all special and unique though, no matter how we look, we are all sparks within the void, each and every one as infinite in value as the next. so don't fret your appearance, bath, apply your toiletries, and move on. Someone out there thinks you are the most precious thing in the world.

I don't see him very much during the week.

Kinda sounds like some thoughts that have floated their way through my head. We all have negative thoughts toward ourselves at times and I know how it is to be unsatisfied with my physical experience, but you have to understand that how you look is uniquely your own. That is what makes you pretty. That is you in your gravatar, correct Sparkle? If so, I personally find you stunningly gorgeous. Having said that, don't have to be told you're pretty, simply know you are. Another thing, being who you truly are as completely as possible is key to happiness and acceptance. Don't hold yourself back, what makes you happy is what is most important.

If you ever need to talk Sparkle... or anybody else on iMtG for that matter, just send me a PM or Email. My inbox is always open to talk. Expressing our feelings and thoughts to others is extremely helpful.
