i decided that, instead of irritating all those around me, i would impose my rant on the livejournal community. this decision is based solely on the fact that all those un-interested can simply scroll right on past

I understand

I've often thought about how I perceive myself and how others perceive me. I like you am always looking inward and feel that my self image is less than everyone thinks. Believe me Ive questioned and questioned and those same insecurities that we both share have plowed through my mind. Ive came to a choice, one that is definitely trying to say the least: people will always judge no matter what you do, say, act, and (unfortunately but especially) look. Lifes to short for other peoples bullshit. So is sans makeup sara is what makes you happy, then go for it and dont look back. Making yourself happy should be priority #1. Anyway Im dont with my rant, but I just want to say that ever since I met you I have always thought you a beautiful person inside and out. Stay the way you are Sara! Lots of love....

hey girly.. haven't talked you in awhile! we should chill one night, it would be fun. but.. as for the above post.. i understand the makeup thing.. i would have tried it to hide my yucky face, but i was too lazy.. but.. try proactive if you haven't (i know i sound like an infomercial).. being that i work at a spa and have had everything shoved at me to try and make my skin look beautiful, nothing worked until proactive.. the over the tv remedy. just a suggestion.. it was the only thing that worked for me!!!
anyways.. i hope is well...

wow! it's been quite awhile, hasn't it? im glad to know you still read my livejournal and even more glad to hear your support. i really appreciate your advice. unfortunately, when i said i've tried everything... i really meant it. i used to use proactive solution for almost two whole years back in high school. it never did very much for me, but at least it works for someone! hopefully we'll talk soon... xoxo!

girl, you ARE beautiful inside and out.
myself, i suffer from psoriasis.
i've never had acne, but i'm sure the frustration that goes along with my skin condition has to be similar.
countless pills and treatments and creams and nothing but feeling hopeless.
so i can tell you, i understand.
i KNOW i am a great person on the outisde, but for whatever reason, i think less of myself because of what's on the outside.
so, if you are going to hear it from anyone, you are going to hear it from me.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
...and i understand.

..."the scenario in which i meet up with a group of old friends, sans make-up. we are all ecstatic to see each other, to exchange stories, and to reminisce. at the end of the evening, we all climb into our cars and go our separate ways and conversations commence.."

Grendel, I always imagined if this scene happened and I was one of these old friends who you havent seen in so long (I hope that since I haven't or talked to you in so freaking long I would still count as an old friend!)
I would be in my separate car blabbing jubilantly,

MAN I AM SO EXCITED I GOT TO SEE SARA GRENDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's great! especially since we probably touched upon several of these joyous subjects: Sara(h) nation, chickens, CHICKERCHIEFS!, the el n gee, mr. baggy pants (slluuurrp), Images, Penis Pinatas, the Naughty Victorians, etc etcetc etc

You rock. period.

Dearest Sara (chicken),

I know I've usually been shy about certain things, and in the past our short emotional run-ins (art lessons) were mostly talk and never followed through, it has been something i have always regarded as a mistake for me. I sit and wonder what may have happened if things played out differently.

The bottomline is I always had an eye on you. Still do. And always will. You're a beutiful person in my eyes, inside and out.

xo.
