one of my 'twins'~both are on my inner arm, just below my elbow~a mirror image of each other
i was having some unsure thoughts yesterday of how i was concerned someone was no longer themselves so naturally i phoned my dad~its always dad i turn to at times of crisis, whether real or imagined.
his partner adele answered so i spoke with her, asking her opinion too and she said something that really surprised me.
i have always been, if you have read an earlier post, very shy and consequently i have grown up with a supreme lack of confidence in everything surrounding me
*too tall, too fat, too broad, not clever, too thin, not interesting,too pale, too ginger, too freckled, too weird...oh my an endless list that i am sure many of us have*
so now i have found out how inaccurate my personal impressions are.
i am seen by both my dad and adele as a very strong person, that i am very confident 'in my skin'~with who i am...i don't change my personality in order to fit in with others or my surroundings~according to adele just like my dad.
*isn't it funny how others can see the inside of you?*

I think we all have a different impression of ourselves than the person others see. I love your spirals BTW:)
you know, even though i have never met you in person, I have never thought you lacked confidence.. you are one of those I turn to when I doubt myself & my beliefs! I know you don't like crowds though! but that to me is not a lack of confidence, it is more of a protective energy thing.
funny that you say your dad and adele see you like that... that is exactly how people see me.. but I don't see it either..xoxo
Sometimes we all need to hear how those we love 'see' us-it offers a kind of new strength I think.
The trip with your sister sounds so fun!
