I am ugly.

[elfwreck]

We are all, sometimes, ugly; we have dark and vicious thoughts, and insensitive beliefs, and shallow interests we spend too much energy on, and we all occasionally over-react or hurt someone who didn't deserve it. (Whether anyone "deserves" to be hurt is a question for another time.)

Inasmuch as I am ugly--in the areas I am not kind and generous

Excellent. Disturbing. I think I like when sometimes look past my "ugly". No, really - I guess that is not true of those I care for. Those I want to still be with me in spite of my "ugly". Aren't our Real Friends & Family™, our True Blood those who do that?

I don't think your ugly at all, just honest. Most people try to hide behind what they think people want to see. I think honesty is a long lost vertue in this place we call reality and it is refreshing to have a friend who is not afraid to be herself. I really like this post,very well said.

May I use this essay with a Dark Moon Rite I am doing this weekend?

I'd be honored.

Feel free to edit or adapt at will. (Not that I'd be able to stop you anyway. But certainly don't worry about it, if you want to move parts around or add sections in to make it work better for you.)

Thank you very much! :-)
