Curly-haired gals want straight locks, while the straight-haired girls are out getting perms. Short girls long to be supermodel-tall, and tall girls wish they could be the petite cheerleader. We change our haircolors. We put in phony contacts. Nobody is ever totally pleased with themselves. I know that I had issues....I'm comfortable with myself now and am happy with what nature gave me, but when I was younger I used to agonize over every little thing. Even though I was tall and thin, I wanted bigger, better boobs. I am the exact opposite of the perky blonde that supposedly is every man's dream (I have since found out THAT one isn't true anyway!!) I thought that having dark hair and eyes and dark skin was a disadvantage, that I was too "exotic." I hated my "big" feet.....(size 10......never mind the fact that at my height, I'd tip over if I had teeny little feet.) You learn to get over it. You learn to love yourself, and you learn to accept the love that others try to give you.

That was a beautiful post! And yes, like RubberSoul said, I am one of those skinny girls who wish I had a little more pounds on me.
