Selfies

It's rare for anyone to take a picture of me, but sometimes I'll attempt to take some selfies if I'm in the mood to be disappointed lol. They are usually met with "is that REALLY what I look like?" Anyways, I'll keep some of them because years from now I'll wish I had them, especially realizing that as we get older that we're not usually going to look any better, right? It's hard never feeling satisfied, whether that be with hair, skin, weight, nose...whatever. I'm on a journey right now to try to learn to love myself more and to accept the things I cannot change. That goes beyond appearance too. The last year and a half has been the hardest I have experienced yet in my life with having my heart shattered. The next year and a half will be challenging as well as I'm going to be retiring from the military next year. I'm both excited and terrified at the same time lol. I'm so thankful for my support system for their unwavering support. I just can't express enough how grateful I am to them. Wow, I started out this post thinking I was just going to post a couple of selfies and this has turned into a journal entry. It's therapeutic though. We have limited time on this Earth and I want the people who are important to me to know how much they mean to me and to show a little bit of vulnerability too which is hard for someone like me to do sometimes. I love you all 😊
