...being the same.

People who are 'alternative' dress/act in the way they do because they are just as deperate to fit in as everyone else and they are actually far less accepting of people who choose to be different than people who choose to be 'mainsteam'.

And that's a fact. So there. I have been on the receiving end of hostility this evening and to be honest I would rather be with a bunch of chavs wishing I was thinner.

Which brings me to my second point of the evening and something I have been pondering for a while. If I was an English teacher I may say:

'Life would be better if I was a dress-size smaller' Discuss.

As much as I would like this statement to be untrue, there is a large (boom boom) part of me that actually agrees with it. After all, who can not be happy when a size 10 fits like a glove?? But that's horribly shallow. Am I that bad??

Yes, I am. And if I could be thinner I would be happier. Losing weight a few years ago showed me that I still see the same me in the mirror no matter how much I weigh but maybe it also showed me that other people don't necessarily see the same you.

Would my life be better if I was thinner? Yes, but then my life would also be better if only I could be a better person. Sometimes we can't have all that we want...
