(part 2) ... as much as i would have loved to fire some insult back at them, i chose not to. i know this is how God made me and I love it; even if modern society doesnt think I'm that desirable. in the long run, it will filter out those who aren't worth my time, effort or energy, and make women who do find me attractive for the RIGHT reasons come to the front of the line. I often jokingly say "what good does a $500 shirt do when there's a moron wearing it?" hahaha

love your comments, sad how people treat us but funny how you put it

thats the problem with todays society: too much emphasis is placed on superficiality and the glitter, rather than substance or a heart of gold. i remember once at a karaoke bar, i sang "Break on Through" by The Doors and nailed the song; screams and all. one table full of mid-20 something women (i'm 30) started saying "oh my who sang that? that was awesome!" one turned around and saw all 5'6" of me and said "oh nevermind." before i had a chance to say thanks. to be continued...

Ugly Duckling is actually a really powerful story.

@GodschildJCE I don't call everything either a blessing or a curse. One of the last things she said was that she was going to meet Jesus. U could say I'm happy for her. Sure it's not the same without her, & I miss her still. But if they have a funeral for me when I'm gone, I hope someone explains that to the people that come for me.

@FangnclawX sorry about your mom,im amazed you still have faith in god after he took her from you =( in my book thats not blessing.

[FangnclawX]

@GodschildJCE Looks aren't a blessing, but htta's just my opinion, & they fade. If it must be judged, I was & am probably still the ugliest in my classes, but I'm generally called a thoughtful person in real life (not as much online), so I've never had enemies & have met many "mother swans" to make up for my mom passing away when I was little. If you've never met a kind person, then that truely is sad & I feel bad for you & it's too bad you probably don't live in my town then.

@FangnclawX whos to say you ask?well....try most people in elementary and middle school and during my high school years nobody dared talk shit because I worked out and bulked up so if anybody said anything I would tear them a new one..at this point I think god chooses certain people to fuck during thier life times for reason i do not understand and others,for example "hot" people to bless them.

[FangnclawX]

@GodschildJCE Everyones different though, so who's to say who the ugly duckling is? Pretty much we'd all be doomed if it weren't for Jesus.

[GodschildJCE]

ok so we belong to God and that should satisy us but in my case I feel it being completely unfair that god made me the ugly duckling because even saying we belong to god doesnt help a person live a normal life and know love or friendships.

always a pleasure. i dont think it's sad that that's how people get perceived; i think its downright disappointing. it should be okay to be different and unique, but how can that be possible when people are still slaves to the status quo on how the media falsely portrays what beauty is? One thing God taught me through CCD classes growing up is to Love One Another no matter the circumstances. Simplest messages are the most profound.
