Laura, I'd much rather be the person that gets made fun of while living the life I love than the person whose life is so miserable that all he/she has to do is watch other people living life and pick them apart. It takes much more courage to put yourself out there and show pictures and help others than it does to hide in the shadows of anonymity and strike out where you can. No one's perfect, but everyone deals with their imperfection differently. I've always admired people like you who can do it with grace, reflection and compassion for others. You were so gracious, you even ended up getting compliments over THERE! That says so much about the real you.
I am glad you aren't changing it. I have gotten so many ideas from you. I cut and paste pics into my word documents to use one day and even DBF was impressed with your skills! So, I am counting on you to still be around once I am finally in the stages of preparing for my wedding!
I am so glad you've gotten the job you wanted. Many young adults start out life either swimming in debt or living off others and for you to be get yourself settled and support yourself before you start college is wonderful! Are you going to major in the design field? Once you've been working awhile and they see your talents, they might even want you to start teaching one of their classes. You will be all set to run your own business then!
