I think I do pretty well for garbage. I get up every day with a fulfilling career, a home, friends, family and a great future. In addition, I have someone in my life who is very caring and fun. He has a career, home, a wonderful daughter he takes care of, friends and a fantastic family.
Yeah, I can see where that can be mistaken as inferior. —Very Happy Being in My Shoes

it’s a self love, tough call
Good for you for standing up for yourself. Always in a positive way. Let you shine through!
Don’t you know OL,that you’re living in a shithole? You’re not supposed to be happy with what you have, you’re supposed whining about the price of getting drunk, that there’s not enough opportunity, that taxes are so high. You should be upset that people don’t seem to care that life is bad here.
I really like your Love here Happy Shoes, it’s a nice antidote to some of the tripe in the other section.
Good people go through the most bullshit.
Way to go OL for posting. I’ve read the crap in the other section (I caught on) and your response only shows how little a BITCH you are. Stay happy and ignore those who want to tear you down. It’s not about you, it’s about them.
For the offenders who BITCHED: Before you put someone down for who they are, take a good long look at yourself… and still, shut the fuck up.
It is so nice to see someone say “I am ok despite what you may think” or “I am happy with me”. Too often are we critical of ourselves especially when faced with outright attack and bullying by others. Our self-confidence wavers. Maybe yours did, but by the tone of this love, it didn’t last long.
I think you are on the right track. Keep it up and for those who want to tear you down, they are struggling and feel threatened. Don’t let that affect you.
She is ok, she’s great in fact. Some people take knocks and jump right back up. She’s had much more to deal with than the bullshit here this year.
atta girl tiger, go get em’.
Nice post. We know that you are neither inferior or garbage. Those jackasses are just bitter people who are completely unhappy with their lives. They are the losers for being bitches and assholes to others.
You are a fantastic person, and lots of us know it. See you tonight!
You are worth so much more than you even realize. Your inner light may have dimmed but it is just waiting to be stoked into flame.
Love you my sistah. Happiness is inevitable for someone as wonderful as you.
The rest is just envy and should be disregarded like the ones who have it.
Some insecure people boost their lack of self worth while standing the shoulder’s of others.
Tell your family to go to hell.
