I'm Fine

Freaked-out, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional.

Sensitive Insensitive
Depressed Anxious Paranoid
Hapless Hopeless Frustrated
Undermined Kicked-about Humiliated Awkward
Disaffected Distracted Discouraged
Broken
Broken-hearted Heartless
Selfish Self-destructive
Changeable Indecisive
Uninspired Unattractive
Untalented Unworthy
Unfriendly Unforgiving
Unrealistic Uncommunicative

But I've never been unloved.
Not because of what I am, but because of what You've done. Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are.

(Clears through)

Whether you choose to believe it or not, you are ALL these things.

Dear anonymous,
I'll give you humble - but that's something that was taught, not born.
I stand by what I said. It wasn't written out of a passing fancy or mood - it's what I face every day of my life. And I'm tired of acting as though I'm something else.
If that means wearing my shortcomings on my sleeve... well, I figure most people have already realized enough of them already.
But thanks for the vote of confidence.

well, regardless of your unwillingness to accept the truth, it seems that one of us must guard the rational thought that you do indeed possess all the positive qualities listed above. I'm sure you have a few nephews who would whole-heartedly agree with me.

Alright, if we're going to bring into account the judgment of my nephews, we should note that the oldest was running around the living room this morning in the buff ...
