Every time I go to this little homemade soap shop where I live, I always stop to admire the tiny men's shelf with it's manly smells and badger-hair shaving brushes. On our most recent excursion, my friend (one of the ones who knows about my hirsutism) stopped with me and picked up a tin of moustache wax with a picture of a very dapper, curly handlebar mustache on the lid.
She said, "Man, if I could grow a mustache, I would grow a pirate mustache!"
I laughed. "Sadly, for all the things I can grow, a mustache isn't one of them."
Then I thought, I can't believe I said that out loud. I wonder who heard me? And I quickly moved on towards the other soaps.
Still, it's important to have someone to joke with. Laughter helps you deal.

Thats when you know that you are getting there - to this mysterious, almost invisible line when you are about to really accept things the way they are. Congratulations! ;)
When I joke about it out loud? Hey, maybe so.
Yes, because then it means that you are making a step away from - crying inside. You view things differently and that makes you realise how unimportant The Problem really is... Its funny...
It doesnt happen overnight though...
I want to have Becky's mind. NNNNOOOOOWWWWW.
:)
ps. i accidently betrayed myself in the office, kinda. i wanted to borrow some smart clothes for opera from one girl (she is superloud so everybody was hearing us) and at some point i said: "doesnt matter (...) as long as they are long enough to cover..." and i became speechless. the trouser girl burst out laughing as if she knew what ive just done and changed the flow of conversation; she immediately changed the subject loudly and finished trouser talk quietly... I was surprised but it felt like... well, what would happen if i finished the sentence? What if suddenly all my colleagues had conclusions to their oh so important doubts about my clothes...? Nothing would happen. Thats what. Nothing at all...
Ha ha, whoops! It just slips out as you get more and more comfortable talking about it.
Yeah, you're right. Likeliest scenario most often is that nothing will happen. :D
