I don’t think I’ve ever posted a picture of myself that was in “drab” before. I’ve always come off as someone who is quite confident in my appearance. But I do have my insecurities, just like everybody else. I’m not trying to be PERFECT. I’ll never be.
I used to have such long black beautiful hair which I loved to fuss with. Unfortunately I had no choice but to cut it all off during one of my cross country bike trips because it was increasing difficult to bother with. I had to give in to the side of practicality. Shorter was easier to keep clean and made my head feel cooler. I tended to overheat from having too much mane.
I purchased a wig because I don’t feel like myself without the long hair. I opted for the platinum blonde color because it doesn’t retain the heat as bad as black does. My normal hair got kind of bleached out from the sun light and my grays are showing more.
I plucked the living daylights out of my eyebrows until there was hardly anything left. Now I pencil them in.
My left shoulder is scarred from when I broke my collar bone and I have a slight bump there where the bone snapped. I’ve got road burns all over me from all the falls I’ve taken from my bike over the years. I see them as “biker’s badges”.
My nose was broken and is crooked from when I was punched by a violent mental patient a few years back.
I’m a little insecure about my breasts since I stopped HRT. And sometimes I’ve put a pair of enhancers in my bra to make them appear bigger than they are. Not an effort to attract attention. I just feel a bit inadequate there at times.
We all have flaws, those little imperfections that make us who we are. Change only what you need to feel “comfortable” with yourself and learn to accept the rest.
It’s all part of dealing and living with THE HUMAN CONDITION.
