About Getting My Picture Taken.

By

I have a really hard time thinking that I am beautiful.

A few weeks ago I got to meet Karen. I was so very excited to have her take my picture.

So excited until the moment came to actually have my picture taken.

So I am going to be flat out honest and tell you how my mind works.

And you are going to tell me I am crazy.

And I am going to tell you that you are right. I am.

Sometimes….

About these things…

I am always afraid to have other people take my pictures. Because, if I ask someone to take my picture it must mean that I think that at that moment I look pretty enough to deserve getting my picture taken. And what if they don’t think that I look that great? And what if they think….who is this horrible looking girl thinking that she looks good? And those fears make getting my picture taken one of the most painful anxiety ridden moments. Ever.

I think it turned out pretty dang good.

And THAT is a hard thing to say.

  3. Cassie. you shine from the inside out. I remember the first time we met in person and 1) it didn’t feel like it was the first time and 2) your beauty was absolutely radiant.
