"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
Anais Nin

I am learning to love myself and where I've come from in my life. It's a daily struggle, but I'm getting there, slowly...surely.

What a beauty. I like how your hair frames your face, and the way your pink lipstick is matches the hair ribbon on Hello Kitty.
Nigel Hollingworth gave props (20 Nov 2008):
Wonderful!! Such an enigmatic look!
Michael Cox (Deleted) gave props (20 Nov 2008):

Nobody knows where they will go, or how they will get there, so you may as well enjoy the trip. Looks like you're doing so.
Teresa gave props (21 Nov 2008):

Regardless of the SP, there is a great deal which could be said about what you wrote, but a reply that deep doesnt belong here. Suffice to say its a worthy struggle and the fact that you do it means you have won. Excellent quote, great image.
