You look lovely Michele! All of us are our harshest critics. I hate mirrors because when I don't see myself I just look out into the world with my two eyes presenting myself just as I am and, I suppose, envisioning a more attractive me than what I see in the mirror. 

Hiya Michele. All that I CAN say about Your Photograph, IS Wow ! Wow! Wow ! You look Absolutely Stunning Sweetheart ! Also, what a Pretty Dress Babes ! You Definitely do NOT look BAD. You look Wonderful Young Lady. If You go onto My Facebook Page, of Stephanie Maycock, You will find a good number of Photograph's of Me. The one's with My Hair nice and long, are the Most Recent.

Now stop selling Yourself short !! Keep Smiling, because You have got a Very Sweet Smile !! Take Care Honey, Love and Very Best Wishes Babes, Stephanie. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

I wasn't using bad as in the literal meaning bad.  Was using it to show the contrast of what people think is bad and actually that their exterior can show off some kind of light that shines from the inside.

External beauty is nothing, if the interior doesn't match that.

Thanks.

Michele

Ps Steph, I legally also had my name spelling changed from mother's version of Michel Jerrard Heynes to more appropriately Michele Jerree Heynes, and I only use my names on legal documents, but my signature is so simple and messed up that you can't figure out what I scribbled.  Yes, I kept my names or at least the meanings of my names, because they resonate with me.  And because the ambiguous Michel left people calling me Michael or Mitchell most of the times when calling me, and so infuriating me and abusing my names pronunciation of Michelle, also felt the double L is way to commonly used and still wanted a dash of uniqueness or rarity with my name.

Dear Michele,

Your beauty shines from the inside out!

Yours,

Monica
