Date: November 14, 2011 05:11PM I didn't do much, thank the National Film Board of Canada!
You know, after watching this I cried a little and thanked my small man for being in my life. There are things I grew up disliking about my face but seeing them reflected in the lovely adored face of my first born especially reset my brain to appreciate those characteristics. How can I not find him beautiful? And he looks just like me. Re: Flawed. A (gorgeous) short film.

I am a big nosed girl, myself, and I could relate to the film maker. I was lucky, though, that I never knew anyone growing up who was allowed to have a nose job and that from an early age I have been complimented on it--"what a lovely profile you have, what a classic Roman nose"--by people I respected and who were sincere in their compliments. That helped me to not develop a hang-up about it. A man I knew once mentioned my nose, in a not entirely complimentary way, but I knew he found me attractive anyhow so it made me smile secretively to myself instead of hurting my fee fees. Your own self perception is more beneficial or harmful to you than anything someone else can say to you, good or bad. I'm glad you figured this out with the help of your boychild Re: Flawed.

Date: November 14, 2011 07:31PM Tam, I had a boyfriend at one time who made a point of complimenting my not tiny nose. He studied that facial stuff, how inadequate nutrition has changed the shape of the human head over time, and appreciated the way my face is structured. It took me a couple of days to get over him saying "big nose" though, that's not typically part of a compliment! Re: Flawed. A (gorgeous) short film.

Great point, I saw a some photos of what someone thought was a most optimially developed human. I was quite envious because of the extremely large mouth and teeth, very bright white teeth also. I showed it to my partner and he wasn't impressed he thought it looked like an animal. I guess its so relative what people are most used to seeing as being normal, and it is if everyone is like that. They were old photos before a lot of pesticides and an area of the world where people were living on wild foods on land that was NEVER agricultural. None of that exists anymore. The people also had little if no judgement about eating alot or eating what they felt like, as far as I know. Re: Flawed. A (gorgeous) short film.

Date: November 15, 2011 04:44AM Well, I try not to think of it as flawed anymore, you know? I try to just think of what I am as improving, having room to change and grow and become smarter, better, etc than I currently am. If we didn't all have that what would the point of living even be? If I were perfect I could just stop right here and not have any reason to go on. I sort of like still having work to do, gives one a reason to get up in the morning and go on with the day.

Date: November 15, 2011 09:19PM To some degree I can agree with that. It used to be my mantra, but now I just want to accept how I am, and make the best of what life I have. It might be a month, a year, or gads...another 50-70 years I want to make the best of it. Its difficult right at the moment. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
