I saw your photo posted in Rainy Day Play.
You’re lovely.

Ooh, I hate that person. I dated him in my 20s, in two different guises, and a friend's daughter is anorexic because of him. I hope you can tell that voice to go away, someday.

(Obviously, not the same literal guy, but the same in spirit. Petty, mean spirited fools.)

Putting the guy aside for a moment ( or better, completely ~ I mean what kind of person says "you're not pretty enough" ? ) maybe the guilt & shame he left you with will vanish.

Shame and guilty for being your self ? Why do you give him such a present, while your lyrical and brilliant way of writing, just proved you wrong.

I mean Santa Clauss is overweight... but the most adorable being in the world!!! I am sure he has not see your heart, and I do not want anything to do with the ones, that their eyes, can not see hearts.

Sorry if my comment, was in any way ''bold'' but your writing is great!

If you knew me, proving me wrong would be easy to do.

Oh, thank you, thank you, MCS.
Phyllis, the whole thing infuriated me. I hate that person, too. I hate those damn voices.
Kim, I want those feelings to vanish completely whether or not he's around. He stirs up the guilt and shame, I don't want him to be able to stir anything up even if he tried to.
Oh, Olga, you are right... I am done giving presents, but he has little ways to suggest I should still offer something of my heart.
DandyLion... Why must I always deny it?
