On being ugly

You made me laugh between waiting for the washer to finish and going back to bed..it is New Years Day in England and grey and gloomy and I have a male lump in the bed snoring so sleeping is difficult..nevertheless I just fell upon your engaging epitome purely by accident and here I am hooked, ‘following ‘ you and in a better mood for the day already!

I have only just ‘discovered’ you and it is refreshing!

Your picture is beautiful, you are a beautiful looking woman. The acne is a problem for us all at times in our lives and it will recede when it is ready..been there had that, and my body banished it when it was ready, which was way after I was ready , but hey ho your beauty shines through, physically and in your overflowing thoughts here!

You remind me of a person I shared a flat with along with 2 other people, one a girl, one a guy. She was a wonderfully refreshing woman and I would photograph her for my Art degree course. We laughed about a photo of her elbow which looked amazingly like a penis when isolated in a photograph! I still have it and it reminds me of her refreshing laughter. She was on a different course from myself and eventually we moved in different directions but I will never forget her. We had our ears pierced at the same jewellers, on the same day and rode home on our bicycles and she fainted at the sight of blood spots falling to the path as she cycled and we dismounted and I had to comfort her and get her sweet tea and it was memorable because I thought she was brazened and impervious to something so relatively minor and it was at that time that we realised we all can have others who fill in our weaker parts and support us when needed but we don’t always realise that until the occasion arises and we are called upon. So at that point in life I lost my fears and matured a lot. Your writing is refreshing and reassuring and touched a place in my life I had long since lost touch with.

I thank you for that and roll on, and keep spilling forth. You are valuable!
