When I WAS obese....

When I was OBESE....

I was a photographer, musician and artist.

No one saw the photographer, musician or artist.

They saw obesity.

I read Possibility Girl on the internet. I thought it was thought provoking so I wanted to share it.

 

Possibility Girl
Everyone thinks Possibility Girl is possibly a genius. Any day now, they continually agree, Possibility Girl will make it big. Become a star. ‘You won’t forget us when you're famous, will you?’ they always say, as Possibility Girl begins yet another amazing project.
The only person, who doesn’t believe in Possibility Girl's possible genius, is Possibility Girl herself. She thinks they're being too kind. She isn’t gifted at all. She’s a fake genius, bluffing her way through life. She is convinced the moment she tries to actually achieve her full potential, she will fail, fall flat on her face, and the people that once admired her from afar, will admire her no more. And so Possibility Girl never actually achieves anything. She just sits on the edge of her possible glory and basks in the adulation of her potential.
-Andre Jordan

GOOD POEM YVONNE. HOPE U HAVE A GOOD DAY.  I WROTE A POEM ABOUT MY BROTHER WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE DUE TO THE VIET NAM WAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. I NEVER SHOWED IT TO MY PARENTS, THEY DENIED TO THIS DAY THE POSSIBILITY THAT HE KILLED HIMSELF.  TALK TO  U LATER. VICK

Oh Vick...I didn't see your message until just now... I'm so sorry.  The war was so incredibly brutal and I'm so sorry about your brother.  I think sometimes parents of our generation have more difficulty with things of this sort.  It's almost like mental difficulties are some kind of embarrassment because it was difficult for my parents as well.  My brother is schizophrenic and my dad still would rather blame his drug use instead of any possible inherited family problems.  Bless your heart sweetie.  If you ever want to share your poem, I'm here.
hugs, Y
