I'd love to go back and shake myself and change how I behaved back then.<br /><br />Every now and then, I get flashes of it, too- but I can shake it off.

I'm sure we all do at some point... We are human. To say otherwise is a great fairytale. We compare our beginnings to someone else's middle or end. We compare our inside to the polished outward perfection someone else displays....

Is it society drilling it into our head? Or just being a woman? I try my hardest to build a strong self-esteem in my girls- but I still worry as we quickly approach the preteen years. The last thing I want (or any mother wants) is for them to feel inadequate in any way.~Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630711945679604201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208706644410714856.post-7398307668759122192012-03-14T11:58:04.818-04:002012-03-14T11:58:04.818-04:00Isn't it so frustrating to know that our daugh...Isn't it so frustrating to know that our daughters might some day go through the same BS just because they are women, and we tend to give ourselves such a hard time?<br /><br />I hear you babe.
