That I am attractive.
That I am anything more than "ok" at photography.
That I am good at art.
That I am worthy of .... things.
That I will get an amazing, wonderful relationship.
That I'm not annoying people.
That I'm not fat and flabby. (Especially now that my BMI says I am on the low end of overweight)
That I am special in any way.
That I am interesting.
That I am a good writer.
That people don't just say nice things to/about me because it's "what we're supposed to do."
Hmm, I really thought this post would go on forever, but I seem to have run out of things I don't believe about myself. Not that this list isn't more than long enough.
Shrug.
Inspired by a weird conversation with Jason.

I can confirm, either directly from what you've said and shared with us in the blog, or inferred from the stories you've told us, that everything on that list is true.
And I don't just have to say that because it's expected!
You are one of the best blog writers I have ever discovered.
I agree with Jason and Jonathan!
Happiness is difficult to find within, impossible to find elsewhere.
You need to know that you are all right & that the essence of life is change which means that none of us are done yet.

I have to believe from what I've read and from the pictures you've posted that all of those statements are very much true. Every.single.one.
Don't get hung up on BMI...mine says the same (except I'm solidly in the overweight range). But I can still play hockey with kids less than half my age and not embarass myself doing it, so I chose not to believe that measure.
Believe all those things. I know you're a great writer and your pictures are stunning. I have to conclude based on your stories that all the rest are true too.
I feel like kicking the dirt and mumbling at you all and then sticking my fingers in my ears and going lalalalalalalala but I'll stand up like a big girl and say Thank you.
You all are very nice.
