Love the dark bg, the swirls and the paper you journaled on. I can't really read your journaling, but I want to commend you for facing this part and scrapping about it.
This is beautiful. I totally understand what you mean about feeling so much less secure than others may have any idea about. Thanks for putting yourself out there like that!
I love the picture - just beautiful - your eyes shine so brightly! No wrinkles that I can see! I totally "get" what your struggle with self-esteem, it's too easy to see all the things wrong with us than to choose to look at all the things that are right Those things that other people would love to be so blessed as to have. That's what I'm just starting to realize at least.
The layout is great - the dark feeling of the picture with the brightness of the photo really convey the mood of the journaling. I think you did a wonderful job!
{{{big hugss}}} Firstly you are very brave to put yourself out there like this. Secondly I can so relate... every day I look in the mirror and see only the faults, never the good stuff and I struggle with that every day.
Thirdly I see a very beautiful person, and not just on the surface... I don't know you very well, but your inner beauty shines through so clearly.
And you are a wonderful scrapper.... and I would die to have even a teeny tiny 1% of your photography talent.
