I wear more make-up - primer, foundation, mascara, blusher and lipstick. These days I even touch up my make-up in the afternoons.
I like going to the office every morning. I like the drive even better. Though it's just two junctions on M25 it takes me an hour each to and fro.
I am at peace with myself, more so after accepting that I should not really expect anything from others, especially from people that I am close to.
I do my thing and let others do their thing.
I do not compare myself to others - their situation, status in life, car, house, etc, etc. you get the drift.
I am now able to log in to Facebook and read about other's happy stories / status without feeling sorry for myself.
I even made a LinkedIn profile for myself. And once I made my profile, I swear to God it looked so impressive.
My true worth does not lie in how my classmates, colleagues, bosses or friends think of me. I am alright as long as I think I am worth it. It? Whatever it is.
Damn to comfort over style and those mosquito bite scars on my legs from the India visits. I WILL wear dresses with heels. I feel sexy and therefore I dress sexy.
I bought a concealer pallet. It's a boon to womankind. I no longer have dark circles. Well enlarged pores is a different matter altogether - no amount of primer can help me with those. Yet, I look beautiful (to me at least).
Last year I saved 60% of my monthly salary. This year, I saved maybe 20% of my monthly salary. Guess which year I was happier?
I eat more vegetables and very less meat. I don't uses spices in my meals anymore. I have lots and lots of fruits. I am losing weight, but the process is very slow. I am comfortable with my body shape now.
Did I mention that I exercise regularly?
I got 88% in my first year Japanese exam. Tomorrow I begin my second year of classes.
Love does not conquer all and communication is not always the key. Took me 42 years to learn this.

That's the post I've been waiting to read forever. Good on you!
Happy for you Chinty. Way to go girl. I'm going to try being that way too. We cannot change the other only ourselves no?
