Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Why the hell was he up there anyway? Did he not realize how fragile he was and how easily he could break? Like Humpty, I find myself up on that wall. I am in a place in life right now where I am feeling fragile, but I am taking the risk. After hiding my fat self away for years from public eyes and scrutiny, I am finally “out there” braving the world, ignoring the fact that I am 100lbs more than I am comfortable with and realizing that every time I see someone I used to know, the first thing they are thinking is “wow, she’s put on a lot of weight!!!” I would fall off the wall if they actually say that out loud, so I am hoping no one does … Because if they do, I’m afraid there won’t be anyone who can put me back together again.
Doafl.
