Sounds untrue but it is the biggest truth, I swear. However, I know just how you feel. I'm not exactly what you would call busty (it's hard having friends size D and E too) and sometimes it's really easy to think that I'm unlikeable, should be different, etc. (especially in this society, where girls are so pressured to look and be only a certain way). If anyone read my diaries and some poems that I've never sent to this list, the commonly depressed line would be, "why would anyone ever want to go out with ME when there's THEM." I thought this, and I was proven wrong, happily. My own perceptions were critical and entirely badly based, and I neglected to see the beauty that was there. My advice is, be yourself. It sometimes seems impossible, but someone out there will like you for who you are. They will look at you and think you are the most beautiful, perfect, gorgeous angel in the entire universe and you will be their goddess; and everyone else will see your soul for the angelic spirit it is. Keep yourself happy knowing this will happen and that people will AND DO like and love you for being who you are, not for someone you aren't; others often see the good things we don't concentrate on too, notice how we always focus on the bad parts? Well the majority of the people don't notice those little so-called "flaws." (Don't you hate the fake-cheerleeder type? They are pretending, and while it may seem as though people like them, don't bet that they're any happier and in the long run everyone finds them to be fake and untrue and worse off.) The best people are the people who love themselves, and that will show through. I know that's incredibly cliche, but I've been in your position and I often still am, and I've tried it and it truly works, I know because I've had the experience; it is something worth living for, it will be a part of your life and it probably already is, you just don't see it or haven't found it yet. I always thought there would probably never be someone out there who loved me for a long time, but I swear Holly, it will happen. So don't be depressed or hard on yourself, because you are beautiful in your own right and there are people who know that and love that as well. Keep your head high and remember, in your lowest states, the future is always a beautiful, unopened, mysterious light. Love ya, Sam the ? angel moonsong@ix.netcom.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Jul 1998 12:21:50 PDT From: "* Jewel *" Subject: ET: poem Just a lil' poem I wrote late last night cuz I was bored.

Responses & impressions welcome & encouraged (sought after even). Love on the Metro The neon lights with their barely audible hum Stifle me Creatively as I try to compose an ode to the pretty girl at the other end of the car 7/2/98 Success (an Ode to the Pretty girl at the other end of the car) I look up and I see earth tones perfectly blended in your beauty The delicate beige of your sun painted skin molding with the brown of your loose hanging tank top Which is in turn complemented by your radiant hair and your Delicately Auburn Lipstick You get up to leave and in my mind I swoop down with my Vulturesque Claws of Charm to snatch you up But my name never reaches your ears and I'm left with nothing but your haunting, seductive glance As you walk out the door How lovely it is To never have touched you 7/2/98 Love and kisses, Ben ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V1 #69 *********************************
