oh, you're not alone ... i think most women are people pleasers to some degree ~ there's some quote i'm blanking on but it goes somewhat like this : "i'm having a friend over for dinner. i hope i like them" ~ or something like that but you know how when you have people over we're always trying to impress them vs. wondering if they will impress us ; )* just something that has always stuck with me when i get in the mode of wanting to impress someone ...
I understand pictures two and three. Those are clearly defined. I am curious about the first one.
Is that you or a stock photo? If it is you, at what point in your life's journey was it taken?
And was there someone at the beach who you asked to take the picture or did you bring someone for that purpose? I would find the context of that photo to be interesting.
Hi Matthew! That picture is me, not a stock photo, taken by my partner on a beach in Davenport, CA within the last two years. He was just capturing the scenery.
"I should have been far more concerned about whether I liked them" : great advice for anyone entering the dating pool ; )*
Thanks Beth! It seems obvious in retrospect. :)
