Ironic how incredibly sexy people don't see themselves that way, isn't it?

I, of all people, should understand why, but having similar feelings and thoughts doesn't explain it. I never thought I was all that sexy, and getting the feedback I did here really helped boost my self-esteem. What I always thought of as shortcomings were praised, and so many people looked within me to see things I didn't.

People around me notice the difference in me now too. It's like a light inside of me has been turned on. ( no jokes from that fuzzy lamp in the corner! )

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
