I've been going through various things in our home as I pack and that includes some oversized scrapbooks I put together when I was much, much younger.- Yikes, how cringe were my tastes in decor/design back then and
- 15+ years have passed since some of these photos were taken and I still feel like burning them all. I do not feel any sense of joy or contentment from having these photos of myself lying around in my home, taking up space.
- I accept 100% that I am an unphotogenic monster and it won't matter how much weight I gain or lose.. I'm just not pretty enough to be photogenic.
Harsh reality is harsh, I suppose.
I respectfully disagree.
Ditto!!
KosmosKitten, I wish you had more self-esteem and could see the beauty others see in you.5 -

I’m sorry you feel this way.
I have seen many photos of you over the years that are beautiful, quirky and fun.
That is not unphotogenic.
I feel so sad when you post self deprecating comments, I feel you don’t see what we all see.
I just needed to say that.
I wish you happiness and peace of mind. ☮️
I know the way I see myself is probably very different than people who know me (or have had some interaction with me) see me. This is why I go to therapy, I suppose. This has been a battle internally since I was little and therapists aren't 100% sure (not a defined mental disorder, in other words).
Let me add that not *all* the photos are awful. Just most. There are a couple (like one from Lake Tahoe when I was 20 or so that I rather like). Although I realized I was holding on to a bunch of completely weird and unnecessary stuff and kinda just shoving it in a scrapbook. Oops.2 -
Sure can. Literally and figuratively.1 -
Grits aren't so bad. I've lived in and/or around the South and southern food my entire life and have spent that entire time not liking grits. Guess I just had to find the right person to cook them for me! The ones I had last night were awesome.. and cheesy.2

I'm gonna not so respectfully disagree.

Has anyone ever disagreed with Motorsheen🤔🤭Has anyone ever disagreed with Motorsheen🤔🤭
Ha.... yes ( a lot )
I once posted a meme on Chit-Chat that got a few laughs. It was completely harmless and inane.
I post the same exact meme on another mfp forum ( I think it was success stories / before and after photos) and dislikes and 'flags' were rampant.

Would truly love to know why one of my dogs couldn't/wouldn't sleep last night but as soon as the neighbor's roosters start crowing, she's out like a light.
Poor thing was in some kind of distress last night, having several outside visits to eat grass.
But the stars are awesome at 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.5 -

Poor doggie! And poor you for having to get up with her. At least she didn't barf all over the place. My fat cat loudly announces his intention to barf no matter what the hour.2 -
A lot of things, to start with if I should just stick to coffee and my book or sleep 😴 lol1

Yellow and gray. I think I finally found some inspiration to start decorating my house. If I'm gonna live here might as well make it look pretty.8

Sleep,
I know you’re there,
you hide and taunt me,
please come soon,
I’ve dreams to haunt me.
