Comparing myself to others makes me feel bad.
Self-centeredness comes into play when there is not enough self-esteem — not the other way around… Putting others down as a way to feel better about oneself is whack and unattractive. And while [a Diva] may appear confident and strong, usually the opposite holds true.
Quotation from Curly Nikki, Tyra Show
“I’m doing you a favor,” she said.
She is too kind and fond
Ever to grieve me,
She has too pure a heart
E’er to deceive me.
Poem by Padraic Colum, Maire My Girl
I miss childhood innocence. I blame myself for my corruption because I couldn’t wait to grow up. I wanted to be 13, then 16, then 18, then 21 years old. I told people I was two years older than I really was. Once you give up believing in Santa Claus, nothing is convincingly “pretend real” anymore.

Talk to Santa at the Milk & Cookies Bar (MightySanta.com)
Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
What a laugh it would have been
If daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
Lyric from Jessica Simpson, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
