"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

This one was harder to share than I thought it would be, but here it is. I have wanted to do this for quite awhile now. To be honest, it was a much better idea before I actually saw the photo. Yikes. I may take this down later. For now, I am going to go talk to some food about the unsightly condition of my backside.

It was a mixture of snow and rain outside and -1℃!
Self image project No.3
Another face of mine (foot, instead..) .
I mainly fence Epee, but learned all 3 weapons.
I always believe that images of fencing suits in Black and White very well.
Such a great sport to discipline yourself, to learn self-control and making a quick decision in a second.
I don't fence much now compare with before due to knee injury but would like to get back on the track.
Now my daughter is following in the footsteps of me and loves it.

No, I wont wear make up. No, I wont change. Sorry you can't love yourself the way I love myself. You can stop dragging me down now, you wont change me.
My wife went as Edith Ann (Lilly TOMlin character from SNL for those that remember). I wore my Jackie Kennedy suit. Suit, designer original, shoes Italian, matching gloves purse and hat.

It comes in many forms, ya see. Physical. Verbal. Emotional. Spiritual.
It's nearly inescapable and completely inevitable. Nobody wants to feel this. Nobody wants to know the feeling of sadness so deep, so desprate that it drives you to the insane thought that maybe you deserved it. Maybe it actually is all your fault afterall. Maybe he didn't mean to hit you... that hard. Maybe those words were an accident and deep down inside, he actually thinks you're worth his time. Maybe the game he's playing with your heart is a joke.. He doesnt mean to harm. Maybe he actually supports you and your beliefs. Maybe he cares.
Maybe not.
I don't know all about physical abuse.. I only learn from stories and testimonies. But im well aware of verbal, emotional, and spiritual abuse. Not from my parents, not from my family, just from living in a world so corrupt that people see no problem in doing whatever it takes to get on top. It's all about you. Yes, you. What you say to people is insignificant because it makes YOU feel better. It lifts YOUR spirit. You're the most important one here, aren't you?
Or.. are you?

Hold on to my own destruction
I fall face first
Watch me, I'm on display
This cycle of human decay
Express yourself -" Help yourself "typos and all lol and then -
laugh at your mistakes ... fix it if it is necessary, as long as you hurt no one...
This shows I am not perfect and ok with it, not going to fix it ,
bringing the message over is more important and this mistake
served a purpose... so just as well
What do we believe
about ourselves
that we want the whole world to be convinced of as well ?
What definition
of ourselves
do we try to prove
to the rest of the world
at every
possible occasion ?
That we are stupid ?
Inadequate ?
Unlucky ?
Clumsy ?
Cursed ?
That we are too fat ?
That nobody listens to us ?
That we don't have our place among others ?
That we are cowards ?
Or greater than our neighbors ?
More clever ?
More deserving ?
That they resent us ?
That they prevent us from being what we could ?
Given enough repetition
we may manage them to finally prove it
At the very least to ourselves
We may succeed
At least in despairing the rest of the world about us.
There must be a better way.
