sometimes I wish I was in my young 20s again and slutting around. J/k! kinda.
Man, I would love to help you but I'm not that great in bed. I mean, aside the tongue thing and judicious use of toys...0 -

Look darling, I'm 40 years old, I'm beaten and battered, I've got crows feet, I've got gray roots, I've got the skin of a pubescent teenager. It's intimidating throwing my pic up with the likes of @happilymegan @LL5lifts and the rest of those bombshells but this is what I got to work with. So I do. And being confident is just as beautiful as being beautiful.
Pffft you're hottie mchotterton1 -

I have super sexy *kitten* names I say to myself over your selfies. I'll tell them to you one day when I get my courage up or maybe after a couple glasses of bourbon1 -
I confess I am ready to get started with schooling but there keeps seeming to be hold up that are preventing me from getting started and its get frustrating....
I confess I love the banter in here and love the selfies.... just wish I could upload one into the selfie thread thru the app on my phone.2 -

and this is a good point too. i feel out of place in there forget how terrible looking I am..lol
I first started to post selfies as a kind of therapy. I am pretty much invisible at home unless its "MAMA...get me that, I need this, we're gonna be late!". I don't post for the validation of strangers. I mostly post because I want my friends to see me so people know I exist and to say hey, this is me, this is the lulu who makes those posts you read, take it or leave it. On a different level, at home for family pics, I started to take selfies of myself when I realized there were never any pictures of me...because I was always the one taking the pictures of everyone else. And the pics of me I did have were when I looked AWFUL like on Christmas morning in my pajamas and thats it. I figured that when I die I want my kids to have some pics to look back at on me at least. So now I still take the pics but I'll always take a selfie and I'll try to get selfies with the kids too. Plus they have phones with cameras now that they are older and they take pics that I am in...so I don't take as many selfies at family functions anymore. People might have thought it was weird but I don't *kitten* care. I had the same conversation with my friends about the selfie threads as you guys are having. Same doubts. Had to overcome the fear and insecurity. I just did it. I know a lot of people will read this and think its weird...think "whats the big *kitten* deal? Its just a stupid selfie!" But I understand. Been there. Now I post anyways. Mostly on sunny days when I look best.
I confess that I am crying after reading this..there is not a whole lot I can do about my face, about the past I led to get me to the wrinkles and hard miles I put on my body and my face. I confessed about this many many weeks ago (about scare to post a selfie) as this was a way for me to get out of my box and just do it. And I did and it felt great for a couple of days.
I then started taking random selfies at home (my husband laughed me many times not understanding what I was doing) so I could post another one. I hated them all. The lighting shows imperfections in my face, perhaps my smile was not what I wanted, etc.. etc.. then I did the comparison selfie thing and I just got down right depressed about it and stopped.
It is prolly about a little validation, so I should be honest about that. Please do not judge me in this regard, I have two grown daughters, I have had personal issues up until 3 years ago and I am now a menopausal woman.. and well I think all that shows. And I want it to be all gone and not show anymore..
I love seeing yours and the others beautiful faces, some serious, some are just funny that show your personality, perhaps your mood and well they show you! They are all awesome
I am a little embarrassed about this, and I have to say that right now with tears running down my face I am a bit ashamed that I am missing something. I need to work on this.
Thanks @LL5lifts for this. I truly admire what you wrote and you are just awesome in my book!4 -

I do well to get one decent selfie every 6 months. One eye gets smaller than the other when I smile big and I'm a bit self conscious about it.1 -
I like to be sad, if i'm not sad, I'll make myself sad.
And I have a thing for rain gifs.

I smile more with one side of my face. And one side of my jaw is super developed and the other is nonexistent. You get used to overlooking stuff

I look at eyes all day, every day, and I have for 25 years. Everybody's eyes do that. It is NORMAL. Nobody has a symmetrical face.
Take a selfie. Now use Photoshop or whatever to split your face in half, then duplicate it. Flip one half over and then put them together to make one perfectly symmetrical face. You won't even look like yourself.
Your face is perfect the way it is because it is the public side of your meat suit. Any other face is not your face. It is someone else's face.
Wrinkles, crows feet, grey roots. All of these things equal wisdom and maturity. As an older fried of mine was fond of saying,
"Women don't even get interesting until they are 25, and don't start to get sexy until they are 35"! (RIP Pete)
Wear your face proudly. We Love Your Face! All of your faces!5 -

You're beautiful and funny. *kitten* what anyone else thinks.
esteem isn't high enough for that lol
Truly loving yourself is a process but you will get there. You can appreciate another's beauty without discrediting your own. And I promise you are gorgeous!

I confess I purged for the first time in a really long time, and I hate myself for it and for eating All The Things that made me feel sick in the first place. The feelings of nausea and stress and sad and alone and general self-loathing were just more than I could deal with today. I hang out on here to stay mindful of how I treat my body, but I inevitably end up taking terrible care of myself.
I confess I feel like I come across as an attention wh0re posting anything like this on the internet but I have no one else to talk to right now and I just want it off my chest so I can go home and sleep for 12 hours and maybe wake up tomorrow feeling ever so slightly better.1 -

I felt that way when I first came to the boards, but I have learned to just jump in and if what I say gets passed over it's no biggie. What you post gets more attention than you think. Don't try to be cool, be your own weird little self. Be nice and they will be nice back
