I’ve almost given up so many times, given up trying, speaking, standing up for myself. But then, one day, I cross paths with this individual. It was perfect timing. I hardly know him, but he has so much faith in me. I like that. He probably doesn’t know this, but he has truly had a big impact by just believing in me. Thank you for believing in me.
When I was in Beijing, I came across this adoring father and his precious little girl. She went around picking flowers while he patiently followed her, extending his hand out to her. I quietly watched them for several moments. I could see that the father truly adored his little girl just by the way he walked and watched her. This was one of those tender moments in life that I am glad I could share with this pair.
If only Marilyn Monroe was still alive. She’s a good role model for women with curves.

Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
One cannot be deeply responsive to the world without being saddened very often.
I’ve always been one to believe that after the storm comes the calm. But for the past two weeks there has been lots of storming and it looks like no sunny days are in my forecast. It’s been one thing after the other. I’m not one to have pity parties for myself, so I’m not going to rant on how horrible my life is. I just really want people to show some compassion.
That’s all I really need right now. Lately, people have been taking my quiet demeanor as rude and condescending. I just wish I could let them know that right now things are stormy and I am not always going to be chipper.
I can’t see it. I can’t touch it. I can’t hear it.
I feel it, all around me.
