Destination 8: The Unwanted Feels Wanted
December 16, 2009

Sometimes when life leaves us feeling unappreciated, unattractive and like we have nothing to look forward to...the border is a tempting place to go. Sometimes, a trip over the border is enough to recharge our batteries and help us to look at ourselves a little differently. Feeling beautiful can be a powerful feeling. When someone is able to look at themselves from a different point of view, or through someone elses eyes, it is like a vacation far away from reality. Suddenly our flaws aren't as visible, and we can almost forget about the missing olive for a few moments. The tough decision to make, however...is how far over the border to go and how long to stay. It feels so good to be away for a while, but it is just a fairy tale. Our old life with its problems and stress is just waiting on the other side, missing olive and all.
