I mean, you're going to Europe, which is huge anyway... maybe just say I love you before you go?

I've been thinking about you all day, and I want to tell you my story if that's okay, if not then just close this window.

(I sent this as a private message to a guy who asked why I was FU)

I started out with a few birth defects, and was neglected as a baby. I was burned by my bio mom, and taken away at 3 years old. I had a bunch of foster families, some were ok, some were abusive. I didn't get dental care growing up, so my teeth are jacked (just got braces so that's good) I've had my nose and jaw broken, my nose is crooked af and my nostrils are asymmetric (saving up for rhinoplasty). I've broken my left leg twice (once from my own clumsiness and once from being pushed down stairs) so that leg is shorter than the other, resulting in a prounounced limp. School was a nightmare, I was dirty, smelly and "a weirdo", and everyone let me know. Thankfully I have a decent brain, and had some truly lovely teachers and guidance counselors who helped me get a full scholarship to a great college. I made friends there and joined a service sorority and learned that -caring for, and helping others helped assuage my self-loathing and nonexistent self-esteem-. [addendum - this is key, sadpepejpeg] I know I'll never be cute or have a romantic relationship, but some people do like me, I think. ...That's my sad story, I know it sounds melodramatic, but that's how I got here.

There is more to life than attraction. You can do things if you want to. I take it you are loved based on what you said above. You probably have friends, family... what, oh what will they do without you? To quote It's A Wonferful Life: "...remember no man is a failure who has friends..."

I don't even know you and I miss you. I truly wish you peace from the bottom of my heart. ~S_B
