Men used to like girls with a little weight on them, and I want to know where the public got the skeleton complex from. I don't want to look like a walking corpse so people will find me pretty, but that seems to be what the world wants. I really don't try to live up to the image. Only when I need to feel better about myself do I dress up or if the situation demands it. I am not generally happy with myself, but I'm trying to do better. Tex has tried to help me see how important it is to be yourself, not what society wants you to be.
