Project: Reflect 52 #33 - The 'older me'

"When it gets hard, remember: you are not alone, it gets better. I'm waiting for you!"

I'm glad there's no such thing as time travel because I wouldn't want to travel back to the 'younger me' time. I like the current 'older me'.

When I was young, I was very insecure, self-conscious, pessimistic, and I have very low self esteem. Almost everything is negative to me. That's because I regard myself as an anti-social, plain-looking, fat girl whom nobody likes. Really, I don't like me at that time. I always hope I have the ability to become unseen.

13 years later, I've left that 'younger me' behind for good. Given the choice, I would like the 'older me' to arrive earlier. The 'older me' has a healthy level of confidence, optimism, good self esteem, and positivity. I have good friends and I like how I look now. I don't have the body of a supermodel or an athlete, but I bear the testimony of new-found health and slenderness.
