There is A Story Waiting to Be Written - Me and Beautiful, Blithely

Martin Pratt

the reality is ugly women think they are hot, hot women think they are ugly, skinny girls think they are overweight....So stop labeling yourself and just Luv You and the Skin you are IN

    Glendon Cameron Very true, I have a friend that is hot as hell and she thinks she is an ugly duckling and I have another friend who walks like a gazelle but leaves the footprints of a pig.....

    Maven Huggins very interesting...i think there is another category i have learned..."really beautiful women, who dont know they are beautiful, they never think or grew up thinking in those terms and smart as hell"...and only when they get old, like late old, do people finally say to them "she pretty and she dont even know she pretty" or pay the beautiful compliments freely...that they pause and turn around and say, "hey, I was cute?" i wonder what my life would have been like had I acted it?" it fascinates me
    
    that is me...i have begun to wonder who else is like that
    
    and this is the first time i am writing this, about this, and it gives me another insight..."the black men i have been around aand with all my life were bullshit mf - high school, college, after..--all of them treated me like shit, dismissed me, cause i did not know who i was...not bad, or abusive, but regular jackass shit,..and i remember this white man who saw me in the Sheraton in Harare, and almost stumbled over himself looking at me, and oddly enough, that was the most gorgeous white man i ever seen in real life, I was with my boyfriend at the time... and he took great and grave offense to the attention i was receiving and was getting mad at me that i noticed...that is what i mean that black men are bullshit. the ones i have been with, it is like their platform was based on my being on my knees , they standing on my back...not me standing in all my glory, and never it be uttered by their mouths
    
    
    
    totally fascinating                      
    
    Sorry...;i went into a rabbit hole there. clearly this is something i need to write about. not sure how. "Black Men are Bullshit" tag dont work. and my Daddy did tell me i was good looking all growing up, so it is complicated. I am wondering if there is a "Dont Tell A Black Woman She is Gorgeous Syndrome"? and then my college girlfriend will tell me i acted like i was a bag of chips all through college, and only twenty years later can she say i had the right idea--all that self esteem and knowing self shtick
    
    deep topic
    
    thank you brothers..Glendon, your phrasing of 'footprints of a pig' is captivating
