“Agelessly comfortable in my skin”–who does not have that goal? Yet, on you it wears so effortlessly. Beautiful post. BTW, the 60s are fine decade. 🙂

Oh my gosh. This post. I so relate to your first point best. I think it’s so easy for people to try validating our “flaws” that haunt us. “Your nose never bothered me…” not the point. It makes me proud to hear that you chose to do that, for you and not anyone else. My ex had plastic surgery for a feature that bothered him as well, and while I didn’t see why it bothered him, I knew that it wasn’t my place to judge. And when we think about it, we all have means of doing the same thing. While not on the same scale of surgery, I spend a lot of money to tame my frizzy mop – because it makes ME feel better. And I’m okay with that. Thank you for this!

I’m glad you found a way to feel more comfortable in your own skin fairly early in your life! It’s so important to like the “you” you see in the mirror…however you define yourself.

In reply to Kassandra Lamb. Kassandra, I LOVE the story of your gorgeous red hair! And I LOVE your comment about matching you personality! It reminds me of what I said to someone who (years ago, and I don't remember the context, but it was in response to something or other that I had said about plastic surgery or a similar subject) conveyed to me words to the effect of, "Is that your nose?" My response was: "Yeah, it's mine. My parents paid for it!"
