I'm really not comfortable for a bunch of "reasons"IMG_7529.JPGI'm going to confess and get some freedom from these HORRIBLE SECRETS!

IMG_7530.JPGHaha. Well they don't seem like much but actually have been torturing me in a lot of ways. Probably number one is my teeth. I have no dental insurance and no money to go to a dentist. My teeth are yellow like an old mule. It keeps me from smiling. I'm ashamed of it. Most people here have teeth like my white shirt!

The other is my sun tortured eyes. They are constantly red and once upon a time I used to get compliments on my blue eyes. Not anymore. I'm vain enough to miss that. IMG_7532.JPGThird? My skin is destroyed by the sun too. It hurts. I'm red like a tomato all the time. This all seems superficial? Well I left out the depression, loneliness, poverty, failure, and all the other "deep" B.S. lol.

Nothing wrong with you looks. You look gorgeous! 😊

Thank you! :)

You are welcome. Have more confidence in your good looks. 😊

It may seem silly but I have been told I was handsome/cute/attractive and yet ever since I was very young I was insecure about it. It's not something that men were allowed to talk about so I just stuffed it away. Now that I'm in my 60's I'm so sick of it. I would like to not care at all what people think and also to have a healthy view of myself.

I am sure you were handsome/cute/attractive as they said.
Anyway, it is a different era now. And you are still are handsome/cute/attractive. Bear that in mind, always. 😊
