two family members of mine had eating disorders, and I've learned to really enjoy movements such as this.

Time for a little story.

I'm an aspie. This means that I rarely if ever pick up on the more subtle social ques and find it almost impossible to empathise with anyone. This means that quite often, I'm self-centered and unable to realize that another person might need support or comfort. XD, I've had a long-distance relationship for almost a year now, and looking back I was totally self-centered. At the time, I simply didn't realize it. Last night, I got confronted with the reality of things when she left me. We decided to stay as friends, and since then I've really made a concious effort to consider the feelings of other and really try to put myself in their shoes. It's hard. It's ******** hard, but already I have had two proper, two-sided conversations that involved give and take.

Just then, I had a third such conversation, with my now ex-girlfriend. When we both realized what was going on, smiles were had. It turns out that maybe, with enough effort and time, I /can/ change. Maybe I can not only grow as a person, but grow into the person that I need to be if I am going to make a relationship with this woman - who I still love - work.

It gave me hope.

Whoa, so much conversation always happens when I'm busy watching Ice Age.

Yay Meg! --Huggle-- I'm a new person too, so you can join me in our let's-disrupt-the-world-with-tons-of-post-it's mission!

I'm happy for you Dunn! I know you can change if you try- and if you want to. Good luck with it <3

[The Dunn]

EDIT @ Chez: Thank you, I'll give it my all. Best of luck to you too!

That's wonderful, I think everyone can grow and change for the better. Your effort GMH! 3nodding

[Cabochon]

Awwww, Dunn. That's very mature of the both of you to be able to talk seriously about your relationship and who you really are. Forgiveness is hard to come by these days. Good for you, hun. It's apparent that you care enough about this girl to realize something about yourself and be willing to change. Good luck to ya!

And I'm okay. Just got back from work, which was not great today. :/

[Rain Eris]

Two years I've spent attatched to this young man, and I'll be the first to say that... He's already making a good start.

I'll just have to work a bit harder to keep him in line, won't I?
You'll be right, Sammy.

[The Dunn]

Aw, MML, what happened?

[MADLYALICE]

Well, I just did six different Post It notes!

The first was in my local Library,in the woman's bathroom. The next was in a book about how to change yourself and look 'prettier.'

Then I went to a few different stores. The first store I did was put on the Slim Fast stuff.

Next store was on Hair Dye, as with The other store.

Finally, I ended my trip with a note on a box of organic Cheddar Cheese Crackers, and bought myself a organic root beer as a prize.


So? Thoughts? Comments? This is what each post it says:

1: Objects in this mirror are much more beautiful then they may appear!

2: This book can help 'improve' you, but it can't tell you how beautiful you are!

3: Reminder: You are beautiful!

4: You are beautiful! Never forget that!

5: The most beautiful and special person you know is... YOU! Always remember that!

6: Remember! You are beautiful and amazing!

EDIT: Fixed Second Hairdye pic and Cheddar Cheese pic biggrin

Catherine I LOVE your sticky notes!

Question: Do you write them in the aisle or do you write them beforehand?

I'm still a chicken and I don't post my sticky notes if I think someone can see me so I haven't had the guts to post any in the grocery store yet (even though I really want to).

Thanks so much!

I wrote all of them but the one in the book before hand smile
Some at my house, some in the car ^^

With grocery stores, just make sure it's obvious, so the cameras don't think your stealing stuff, lol.
