I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!

I am apparently an attractive, interesting, likable, and crushable person.
When did this happen, exactly?

Note: I am waffly about allowing comments to this post because I can see potential for communication failure, unintentional creepiness, etc. Please keep in mind I'm NOT fishing for compliments here; I'm making a statement about self-image. (Mine is going through some interesting rewrites.)

Yay!

I'd like to point out that I spent a good chunk of the last five years telling you this.

It's true. But rave reviews from one person - even if they tell me that everyone else raves, too, though I never hear it - doesn't have the impact of actually hearing the rave reviews from other people.

But believe me, my self-image is still drastically, amazingly, incredibly different from my self-image five years ago, and that's got a lot to do with you. ♥

Yay for enlightened self image!

The list of folks who speak highly of you in the above ways is longer than you think:)

It can be hard to turn one's self image around, but it's always satisfying when one does.

Strange, huh? I'd say you've been that way as long as I've known you, but I understand if you didn't see it until now.

I went through the whole "why am I suddenly attractive to guys now that I'm taken?" back when I started dating nightskyre. Again, I was attractive before (apparently), but didn't pick up on the more subtle clues guys give to single girls... I guess.

Heh. I'm experiencing now that I'm single, though... and they aren't subtle clues. ;)

I've known you (a bit) longer than Londo, and found all that true about you from about 15 minutes into our acquaintance.

I expect you didn't have all of it at birth, and I don't know exactly when it happened, but it certainly happened before I ever met you.

This is because you are a cutie pie.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Aw. <3

Also, mmm pie.

Well yes, I've always thought so too.
