Afternoon Tree, Williamsburg

All too often I pass by a reflective surface, catch a glimpse of myself and think, "you look ridiculous."

Ohhhh, you know we all have those mean inner voices. I think starting today, you could change yours to "I look ridiculously amazing/handsome/happy"! And then laugh! It will be fun!

Heh heh. Actually, that little voice telling me I look ridiculous makes me laugh quite a bit as is.

Oh well that's good. That's something.

Actually, thinking about your comment, I find it all the more interesting that after that initial burst of self-consciousness, I pretty much forget it altogether. Some sort of deep-seeded defense mechanism. It probably comes out in more insidious ways all the time, but that real punch just goes right away.
