Re: starting pictures - rupert
Rupert dear, I think you should learn to love yourself before you actually begin the noogleberry journey.
The thing is, from what I understand, you're doing this to feel better about yourself. But that in itself is like trying to fill a void which can be very hard to do. We are our own harshest critics and often people who are completely unhappy with themselves will try to fix one thing, but then they grow unhappy with another, so they try to fix that. Then they find another thing and a cycle begins. This can lead to even more unhappiness because it's a hunger for perfection that can never be sated. Nobody is perfect and there is nothing wrong with that.
Rupert, you are beautiful. I want you to know that and I want you to believe that.
Go look in the mirror and smile to yourself. Compliment yourself. Say it out loud. Look in the mirror and tell yourself positive things about yourself. Note the things you like about yourself. It sounds uber corny, but coming from a person who used to be as depressed and had NO self-esteem, it works. It takes effort, but little by little, progress is made.
Change the way you think about yourself, it will manifest through how you carry yourself.
Before you begin your journey, take the time and effort to love yourself just the way you are. The goal is to love yourself the way you are just as much as you would love yourself with a pair of nubile breasts. You're beautiful, hun~
