Such a tough question....so difficult to answer...
I can honestly say though that everyone of you are BEAUTIFUL! I've never seen most of you and have yet to view the thread with the pictures (although to be honest, I have seen some PTers on a thread years ago) so I can say with 100% certainty that all of you are beautiful! Just by being here, on Pet Talk you are beautifuL!!!!! Your souls are glowing with love and affection. Your words and your action make you beautiful, not what you look like. I would embrace each and every one of you, your outside appearances mean little to nothing to me and to anyone in the "real" world that matters. It's cliche but true, who you are on the inside is who you are and what matters. I love getting to know you all without knowing what you look like. Sometimes outside appearances can get in the way and whether people like it or not, it causes judgments. I hate that. I want people to know ME not my body. I have made mistakes in my life that I have not forgiven myself for and because of that, I feel anger and resentment towards myself. The impression I give off to people is completely different than who I am on the inside more often than not. I've always been told I was "pretty". But what does that mean? I mean really? All that matters is how I feel about myself and that needs come work LOL!

I hope some of us "older" folks can give impart some wisdom about this issue on some of the "younger" ones so they don't have to go through what many of us did...

SOOO, that said, think positive and glow from the inside out, all of you!!
