Then There's Me...

I know it's been a couple of months... I have a reason, really!  My netbook crapped out on me from a virus and I've had to do everything on my phone.  I finally got my daughter's old laptop out and am using it until I get mine fixed.  Windows 2000...ugh.

Suddenly, I felt the urge to blog again.

I was looking through old pictures of my man today after he left for work.  I was actually looking for a spare mouse and saw them on the bookshelf.  I plopped down right on the floor, giggling to myself over the photos of him as a little tyke.  Honestly, he was adorable and his parents looked amazing.  I almost felt like I was part of their family for one brief moment.  Then I started missing him and got on Facebook to look at more recent pics.  I used to do that when we first got together and I was still in Oklahoma.  I'd stare at his face on my screen for hours while "Somewhere Out There" played in my head.  Yea, I'm a sap, but I'm in love.

Anyway, back to my point...

I started thinking about his ex girlfriends...I hear random stories about them once in awhile and have seen pictures of a couple.  Believe me, it doesn't bother me when their names get brought up in conversation, but today was different.  Something hit me...some voice in my ear saying, "You're not good enough."

I feel like that quite often, but can usually push the thoughts away.  Today I can't.

I'm not as pretty, I don't make him happy, I'm too fat, I don't take care of him like I should... the list goes on.  I promise I'm not fishing for compliments, this is really what I think when I look in the mirror.

How do you prove to someone you love you're the best for them, when you don't believe it yourself?
