Hmmm

A treasured friend pointed out to me that my last post came off as slightly elitist. Looking at it, I can see how it could be read that way. 

Those who know me best know that I consider myself considerably less than other people... in pretty much every way. I am merely disheartened that in this world, it seems like more emphasis is always put on how we look than how we feel or who we are. It's pervasive in every aspect of our society and I wish it weren't so. 

I wish I lived in a society where everyone went to the gym because they liked it, not because they felt guilty about how they look. That used to be me. A year ago if you asked me, my only reason to work out was to look better, because I thought that my mental faculties and personality were passable, and that the reason no one loved me was because I was too fluffy around the middle. 

I've gained a little wisdom, but I've still got plenty of that same humility.
