I have never been overly confident in my physical appearance. I'm not one to "lift weights" and be "buff". Put it this way, I've never been excited to take off my shirt at the beach. That said, I've never been swimming with my shirt on either -I'm not to that point.. yet. I had a girlfriend once tell me that I had "skinny fat," meaning that with clothes on I appear fit but when they're off I'm out of shape. -True enough.

But I've never been really keen on my looks. I always feel I look just good enough to not offend. But then, I look at pictures of me from the past and I think to myself, "wow, I used to look great."

Recently I realized that someday, I'll look at myself in a picture and think that the current version of myself looked, "great." Therefore, why not skip the waiting period and just think I look great now?

So yeah, from here on out, I think I look great. I'm fuckin' hot. Why? Because future me is going to remember this version of me fondly.
