Hey sweet, I'm glad your sister (somehow) showed you that you were lovable... I 'existed' for a year after I left X (well, stbX). I went to North Carolina & met 1toughcookie & then Mimi11 & Kimmeee... I was showed such unconditional love... They saw me as a whole person & not the broken person I felt like. I felt broken for so many years... I think that was his goal, to beat me down to the point I didn't have any fight left in me. I thought he had succeeded, but I was proved wrong when I went to North Carolina... and now to Dallas (Z's house)... I found A LOT of strength in DS... I started slowly comin outta my shell back in March/April/May, sometimes... not sure when... (How can I tell you the month when I just sent out 90 hugs that said it was Friday & it's really Thursday? haha!) Find your strength, Miranda. You can do this... YOU ARE LOVABLE! YOU ARE WHOLE!!! YOU ARE NOT BROKEN!!! Like me, you will have to redefine yourself. In my pictures, I have 2 graduation pictures. I put them in there because I remember that girl... she was funny, witty, outgoing, and she wasn't scared... She faced the world head on... I want to finish finding that girl... I have found traces of her hidin inside myself, but I want to finish findin her... She was so beaten down & pushed aside & told not to be herself, that she allowed herself to be controlled by another person(X)... I keep her picture available because I want to remember her strength, especially when I get weak. Whatever works for you, Miranda... DO IT!!! Something else that helped me was I wrote, "I am beautiful & worthy of love. I deserve to be loved by myself & others." I taped it on my mirror & repeated it AT LEAST 3 TIMES, 3 TIMES A DAY, WHILE LOOKIN AT MYSELF REFLECTING BACK!!! You know what's funny (well, funny might not be the proper word here but...), at first, probably the first couple weeks, I actually had to read the words... I hadda hard time lookin at myself in the mirror... I DID NOT BELIEVE THE WORDS!!! I HAD TO MAKE MYSELF BELIEVE THEM!!! Such simple words, but I had to drill them into my head. I memorized the words, and then I had to start lookin myself in the eyes & then smilin back at myself as if what I was sayin was the most wonderful thing I'd ever heard... I thought this was stupid, but I also felt that no one knew I was doin it, so what'd I have to loose!!! You know, it worked... I DO BELIEVE IT NOW!!! I admit, I am over weight, but I can see myself as beautiful... one reason is because when I look at the reflection in the mirror, I learned to look through that 'girls' eyes, to the inner beauty... Just as I would look at you, or anyone else... I was always taught to look at someone's inner beauty, but I was never taught to look at MY inner beauty... Well, I have rambled on & on... Hugs to you, Mirands... CJ

And it's coming to terms with the fact that I am a likable person... okay, lovable... North Carolina showed me this love last month, and Z is showing me now... I am still trying to come to terms with it... I do however LOVE THE CONCEPT!!! It is a phenomenal feeling!!!
