Ah, you cut me deep! But I have a theater background and thick skin. And I can say without shame that there was a time I thought I was pretty flawless. Since I met my bf and his family I have transitioned from a conservative strict Catholic school girl (was a virgin when we met, seriously considered joining a convent after high school) into a more thoughtful and realistic agnostic humanist millennial pessimist. I got too many participation trophies as a kid and true story...I actually thought I would get accepted into Hogwarts from age 9 until I had to face the facts at age 13 and didn't get a single post from Dumbledore or nodbody. I can recognize that I was a bit of a brat growing up in my sheltered little world, but I like to think that I've come a long way since then. This is mostly thanks to my bf and his influence and ability to open my mind to the world around me. His family is very progressive and intelligent and extremely successful. While I would consider my background to fall into the middle/upper middle class category, I have always felt pressure from his family to be a rock star. That's how I see all of them, as rock stars. PM me if you want me to go into more detail on that, and I'll do what I can without using any specifics.

I jokingly say I peaked in high school, but deep down that is how I feel. There was a time I thought I wanted to be a stage actress and was determined to find success there. I am not famous, but have found happiness and contentment behind the scenes. I probably won't ever make very much money, but I am confident and love what I do for a living.

More? I've been diagnosed with ocpd and grew up with a parent with similar symptoms. Sometimes I don't know when to relax and I can be wound a little tight, but that's why God made klonopin and therapists. Also, because of genetics, I'm hairy like a kardashian, but can't afford a full time electrolysis. I am flawed. I'm sorry I was unable to convey that before.
