"Everything ends up okay in the end. If its not okay, its not the end" I would like to start this section off by saying that what youre about to read has nothing to do with what I'm interestred in or what my life goals are like most people's About Me sections. This, because it is typically the first thing seen on a site besides pictures, is the section I believe is perfect for me to explain what both I and my site represent.
I've been told on more than one occasion by people who've stopped by my site but had not met me yet, that I come across as conceited. Conceited in that I have lots of pictures of myself. I can understand the assumption because I would be not unlikely to make a similar assumption about someone else who has a similar layout. Along with the comments about the expected ego that people thought I had though, comes a comment about how surprised they are that Im not who they thought I was. This is a very important issue to me because under no circumstanes would I consider myself egotistical or stuck up. I simply appreciate what I've been blessed with. Like many ugly ducklings, I didn't really come out of my shell until a few years ago so naturally, one whom has just removed onesself from a shell is suddenly extatic and over-joyous about this sudden mobility that one has. I know that sounds a bit technical and a bit rediculous, but if everything you wanted your whole life suddenly sat in your lap, it would be quite an extraordinary event.
Granted not all of this happened over night but it feels like it has. So, as many people will see me as someone who thinks she is better than others because of her looks, I hope I can prove just as many people wrong by saying that there are always exceptions to the common expectation that all of those who take pictures of themselves are snooty. I try my best to see the best in everyone I meet because I expect them to see the same in me. Thats not to say that I like everyone I meet, but people look for in other people what they recognize in themselves. Therefore life is much easier and happier when looking for the best in others. Partly due to the fact that thats what I try to do in myself.
That said, I hope that not only have you got a better understanding of what I and my site represent, but you also know that egotism is an act of comparing yourself to another person and deciding that you're better. Being comfortable and proud of who you've become is not even close to being conceited, its being confident without comparison to those around you and knowing that your skin is where you fit best.
