Keep your curves babe...it's what makes us WOMEN!!!
I would rather not look like a 12 year old boy with boobs.
You have a lot to be proud of. You have overcome some major obstacles and continue with your journey...head held high!!!
When it comes right down to it, you are the only one you need to impress,lonly you have to look in the mirror every morning and decide what the day will bring.
ohhhhhhhh so many cliches to choose from here.
One of the best feelings in the world, in my opinion, is when we realize that something that we thought was a huge stressful deal at one point, really isn't at all. You have a moment where whatever fog was looming goes away and suddenly you're made aware that all previous notions of the situation were just wrong, overdone, or completely irrelevant.
What was once such an important thing/feeling/idea to hold onto really doesn't matter in the least, and probably never really did.
Most of the time, a feeling like this is like a heavy weight being lifted off your life, freeing your mind to worry about the things that are actually important and hold real weight. Also, many times this 'huge' thing probably started out as something pretty small, if you take the time to trace it back in your mind.
We have huge worries in life all the time. I don't believe there isn't a person alive who can say they don't have a single worry. So, why hold onto 'issues' that, when placed out in the open for us to analyze, are very tiny and unimportant in the grand scheme of things?
This example is only one of many that could probably come to mind if I spent more time thinking about it. We go day in, day out and allow small things to get on our last nerves, or send us to our boiling points, when really, why do we bother holding onto such things?
I think the best thing to do is either dismiss tiny annoyances immediately, or deal with them right away (if they are issues between people). The worst thing to do is hold onto these small things. When we do, the result is that they either fester and annoy us endlessly, or even worse, stack up with other small things and grow to almost impossible sizes.
I know there is no way to instantly stop allowing ourselves to hold onto these things that really don't matter much, or won't matter in a week, a day, or even an hour from now. But, I think that we would all be better off if we stopped to think of things in relation to the big picture every now and then, and not let small things get between us and our happiness, or between our meaningful relationships with people we care about the most.
When it comes down to it, life is just too short for that and you choose not to make the rain stop just by holding up an umbrella.
Don't push yourself to the limits...Push yourself past them
