So glad, you are owning it now. It is weird how long it takes to learn to love ourselves fully, right?!

Good for you! Making peace with ourselves shouldn't require so much effort, yet it's one of life's ongoing struggles. I used to be self-conscious about my height (5'10) and muscular build until I decided to embrace it and focus on the things it enables me to do. It's an amazing feeling letting all that other stuff go.

I don't understand something. How could these people have mistaken you for a bloke? Did they only look at your shoulders (which don't even look that broad to me)? Anyway, well done for becoming more accepting of yourself.

I hadn't realized you had your own publication here on substack until today! So I am starting at the beginning to see what you have to say and enjoy your progress. This was a charming piece. Your sense of humor is beginning to come through. And the self portrait was priceless! Go Rebecca.
