I notice how much I have grown in the past couple of months...So let me give you the background.. I used to give my ex sooo much power, not so much because I still liked him or anything but I  gave his opinion too much leeway...But a little while ago I asked him what he would rate me on a scale of 1 to 10 and he told me 3, and yes at that point in time it really effed with me....it didn't make me feel good about myself at all. Today an arguement arised about my looks and where I stand physically and basically I refused to let him make me feel like I was anything less then what I thought about myself. I have come to realize that I should NEVER ever give some one the power to make me feel negitively about myself in that way and that it was my fault to begin with. But now I've got the mind state that I am beautiful and if you don't want to give me my credit then kick rocks. And you know what else he walked around with the 3 on his arm for about 6 months so I must have been something right.
