Some years ago I was walking down a hall with a friend of mine.
I remember glancing over at him and thinking, I sure wish I looked as fit as Clint does. Almost as if in response he said, "you know Jim, I wish I looked fit like you do."
I was stunned. Me fit!! I was so out of shape it was embarrassing. I had a bit of middle age spread and I was starting to feel old. What did he mean, fit like me?!!
Slowly over the next few months I began to understand that others did not see me the way I see me.
Others accept me as I am, or they don't accept me at all.
It's tough to get ones head around that, but it's true.
Most people see themselves as unattractive, while many others see them as quiet attractive, even very attractive.
And I have a little confession to make, I find people most attractive when they present themselves without a lot of bling and makeup. A little is okay, so long as it's not noticeable, but if it's noticeable, to me it appears fake.
I know that some people think lots of makeup is attractive, and that's the point I guess. No matter what you look like, there will always be someone who likes you just the way you are. Morning hair and all.
