Hey, good looking!
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009You know how sometimes you’re walking down the street casually glancing in the windows of the various shops on a sunny day.
And then you pass a shop where you see a cute guy inside the store, so you slow your pace just a bit.
And in the space of time it takes to walk one more step, you think, “He’s cute…
“But he’s probably in a relationship or out of my league…
“Way out of my league…
“I could never get a guy like that…
“He’s got a nice body, though…
“Wait, he looks a little familiar…
“Don’t I own a shirt that looks like that?…
“Why is he looking at me?…”
Then you realize that you’re wearing the very same shirt.
Then you realize you’re looking at your own reflection, but you didn’t recognize yourself because you’re skinnier than you’ve been in years and wearing a shirt that hasn’t really fit properly in a long time.
And then you realize that maybe it’s time to get over those god-damned self-esteem issues.
And watch out for narcissism.
You know how awesome those days feel?
Jen once told me a story about a friend of hers who got really, really trashed and spent the whole night hitting on his own reflection at the end of the bar. I kinda want to get over my insecurity and become that guy.

Jere, I can safely say that’s never happened to me. The drunken hitting on yourself in the mirror guy is hilarious though.
HUGS…

You really don’t want to be that guy. He’s the one we all snicker about behind his back (or to his face when he’s hammered). But yay you. You’re well on your way to beating that insecurity back.

I randomly missed this entry. Lol.
Don’t be insecure. You’re sexy. If I saw you in a bar, I’d hit on you (meaning stare at you, then run away).
