Even in my last year of high school - when I was confident, had plenty of friends, and considered myself attractive, nothing came for me. At all. The girl next to me, with frizzy hair, pimply cheeks, and a strange odor got flowers while I left the class empty handed. It really makes one realize that you can't count on anyone else making you happy to be yourself - you have to be happy with yourself on your own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-66681240045372950992008-02-16T12:44:00.000+01:002008-02-16T12:44:00.000+01:00Bravo Diane!Bravo Diane!Caffienated Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762389337951910204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-81123967684355248872008-02-15T18:56:00.000+01:002008-02-15T18:56:00.000+01:00Great story!

When I went off to college, he sent me elaborate flower arrangements on a regular basis--for no reason other than that he missed me. Imagine being a college freshman living in a dorm and getting regular flower deliveries. The only ones who hated me more than the girls on the floor were their boyfriends who had to hear about all the flowers V in Room 120 got from her boyfriend.<BR/><BR/>I'm still with the same guy almost 30 years later....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-7108988684826092042008-02-14T11:58:00.000+01:002008-02-14T11:58:00.000+01:00Happy St Valentine's Day, Diane.
