Powerful post. And your insight into yourself will only be helpful if you use it as a tool to grow. And to really see who you are. You shed your disguise in this post. A great start.<br /><br />A great post.cathy joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829421153829081513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614392109385268811.post-37628681924594256112011-11-29T20:03:53.219-05:002011-11-29T20:03:53.219-05:00I definitely relate to what's written here.

I put it on like other women put on makeup."<br /><br />Many of us feel that way, and it gets better with age. But not so many are willing to acknowledge what it is that makes picture taking so uncomfortable for so many women. And it's not just cameras. Sometimes we wear masks for daily life, too, and it's painful when they slip. <br /><br />Beautifully written.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02662499515608431425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614392109385268811.post-85497092003638041522011-11-29T15:49:22.372-05:002011-11-29T15:49:22.372-05:00Thank you for being so honest about it here; I thi...Thank you for being so honest about it here; I think that's the reason so many of us are uncomfortable with photos.

I have a lot of defenses, too, and I am so very uncomfortable when light is shed upon them.<br /><br />I love how much you opened up here- it's lovely to "see" you.Galit Breenhttp://theselittlewaves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614392109385268811.post-12714657875240159722011-11-29T14:54:34.812-05:002011-11-29T14:54:34.812-05:00This is so good.

I've never been crazy about photos of myself either but I try to make a point of being photographed occasionally, just to have for my kids, not necessarily for me. I'll always be harder on myself than others.Mrsbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338013137281543065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614392109385268811.post-54731437432301620822011-11-29T14:43:26.409-05:002011-11-29T14:43:26.409-05:00Oh I can so relate to how you feel!
