So today was not the best day. I had just crawled out of my worst depression in decades, and then I got hit with a nasty bout of dysphoria

Once more, the simple reality that I will never be "pretty", never even get SRS, hit me right in the heart, and yet, because Mom and I were doing errands I had to keep pretending I was okay.

Sighs . . .

Some days are better than others - as was sung in the U2 song of that name. "Some days take less, but most days take more; some slip through your fingers and onto the floor." <3 -offers hugs-

What Is "Pretty"

The definition of pretty as an adjective is, "Attractive in a delicate way without being truly beautiful or handsome."

You are extremely attractive. I like you and I don't like all that many people. You're definitely "delicate" from what you share with us.

You can decide if you're truly beautiful.

Sometimes we let media influence how we think of ourselves. . .too much.

Like you, my goal is to be "pretty." Because of you I looked up the definition of pretty. I was surprised. Maybe I can forget about having the cosmetic surgery I've been contemplating!

You may have just saved me thousands of dollars and many hours of pain.

Thank you!

You are beautiful

It seem like every day you provide encouragement, giggles and your signature huggles to everyone in this community. We know you, and we see you more clearly, maybe, than people who have to rely on eyeballs. You are beautiful, and we love you. Be well, my friend.
