Whatever your number is, it’s only a numbers game.
I think sometimes, we need to hear things that maybe percieved as direct, even confronting, I know I did a few months ago, and @ the time I was over the "Fibromyalgia" I was diagnosed with at the beginning of 2023 - especially after a year off and a lot of life changes, that have occured since then.
With a lot of time on my hands @ the mo - I recently stumbled on the following ; (in italic below); on a naturist site I follow - it grabbed my immediate attention by the balls so to speak and boy did I relate ...
So I did it & then I realised - that I'm actually doing okay considering where I am in life @ the mo. After all when you can't do the things you love doing with the enthusiam you have had all your life - it is only natural to view yourself in a different light, particularly a view that changes how you follow your own living motto ...
" Slow Down Puppy - but - LiveLoveLife ! "
And I know that over the last year to 18 months - I have been less than accepting of myself and the way my body now acts and even looks, then add in the way I now LiveLoveLife, I'm certainly slowing down - but even so - I knew I had to do something to change my focus so I could carry on with Living, Loving, Life.
So take a moment and do the following as just like myself - you might just be suprised @ yourself ...
Hug yourself; make it a really big hug.
Tossin' you all some love — feeling grateful that I am still Living Loving Life in the place I currently call home ...
My little part of Auckland - I call the Village of Birkenhead - because that what it feels like - welcoming and familiar with people saying hello and getting to know your neighbours is easy & with all the local nature walks - it just feel relaxing as well.
============
Some night - take some time & sit yourself down on your own and have a few brewskys or a few glasses of wine......whatever it takes to shake the drudgery of the day off.
Then, take out a camera, stand in front of a full length mirror and strip down buck naked. Take tons of pics - every friggin’ angle imaginable.
Then, take another drink and look at those pics.
Try to be objective.
Sadly; I think you’re gonna find that your most unflattering attribute is actually.............your perception of yourself.
I always tell folks that anything worth chowing down on has to baste in its own juices for a while. My brothers...we are ripe...and we are juicy. Don’t let the din and social static; both gay and straight, diminish or denigrate your soul.
We are not the Real Estate Market my brothers.
It is we, and we alone, that determine our value. Value yourself; you are so deserving of this.
