But she did her best to not let us see that all the time. Now that I'm 30, she's been opening up to me about how hard it was to stay positive with all the negative in her head, but she knew how important it was that I grow up with a positive self image.<br /><br />You are doing an awesome job. :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153339966832478573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458090820392613651.post-18342168818064150952011-08-18T15:37:29.390-06:002011-08-18T15:37:29.390-06:00I talk about my insecurities a lot.
