I'd love to live in US tho cuz english is so much easier to me than french. Communication barrier makes my living in France quite harder than I expected. Anyways, I'm sure you are left with beautiful memories and you have a wonderful family in US. <br />The white outfit is very nice and I'll tell you a funny thing. I don't wear a bra and I'm fine with it everyday but to actually wear a bra and a seethru shirt would make me feel somehow uncomfortable. I'd rather put on something over it or best just replace bra with some stretchy simple top. You look great in both versions. With a camisole t's a little more casual.<br /><br />Happiness is such a werid thing. I can't really say what it means. I wouldn't know what to answer, if someone asked me "Are you happy?". From a time perspective I can judge me in my life as happy or just going on with my life and having done what needed to be done. To me it's so much easier to notice unhappiness. <br /><br />Self acceptance is indeed very important. It's a key thing to all the positive changes. Living in a struggle just creates more troubles. Once we take facts as they are we can shape certain things and make fuller life for ourselves and our beloved ones. I wish it was easier to be comfortable with oneself:)<br /><br /><br />ToTylkoJahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127354467687266821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-70504106856596920842015-04-21T05:50:40.296-07:002015-04-21T05:50:40.296-07:00Dear Natalia, sorry I'm so late!
This outfit...Dear Natalia, sorry I'm so late! <br /><br />This outfit is gorgeous on you - the colours and the cut. The back of the shirt is of course like an angel spreading it's wings (tank top or not!), and the colour compliments your skin colour and your lovely hair. <br /><br />So, finally you can enjoy your body in an otherwise "forbidden" colour. I wonder how many other things we deny ourselves, because they're "forbidden" for us by other people's rules or prejudices? It's time we make conscious choices about what to wear and how to feel about it. Rules are made to be broken, right? :-) And we can choose to be happy doing it!<br /><br />It must be so hard to see your family go so far away. But what a great comfort to choose to think about their return instead, and maybe already begin to make plans? <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings Natalia, it's so inspiring to the rest of us!<br /><br />Kaffesoesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267246012323895992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-28439132151917478142015-04-19T09:57:37.509-07:002015-04-19T09:57:37.509-07:00I love seeing you in the bold colors you wear.

Second, love particularly your words about body-acceptance, it's all about living this moment and enjoying whatever you have, including your own fabulous body! <br />I can understand your sadness, dear lady, but I'm sure you'll feel better soon. It's not a bad kind of sadness actually!<br />And last but not least, love your white outfit, love those different textures, and that pleated back!!

But once in a while I like to put on all white outfit. You feel a bit different when wearing all white, isn't it? Beautiful blouse, what an interesting back design! I agree with you that happiness is a choice though I realized it not in such early age as you, but I am happy that I did after all :) Quite understand your sadness about parents leaving, when you know that they have to leave five months don't seem long enough.Olga Ranihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875044569337689314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-85615703355089996772015-04-16T22:32:47.760-07:002015-04-16T22:32:47.760-07:00I totally agree with your dad Natalia, wear whatev...I totally agree with your dad Natalia, wear whatever you want, if someone doesn't like it, its their problem not yours.

That is so not tre. White (and other bright colors) are so amazing and sexy on all women.<br />I am so happy for you that you have so beautiful and respectful relationship with your parents.

You are a wise, wise woman. <br />I don't buy with the idea that wearing white (or light colours or big prints) makes you look bigger, I just don't see that at all. And I also agree that size is only one issue faced by women who are working towards self-acceptance. Society places all kinds of unhelpful conventions in our way about attractiveness, and it's up to us to kick them down, one by one, until we all feel our very best. <br />Sending love, my dear. You feel sad, I know, and your parents will be feeling the same way, but what happy memories you have made during your time together. And yes, there are many more to come! xxxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-28308073261454034842015-04-16T07:57:20.668-07:002015-04-16T07:57:20.668-07:00Thank you, Beatochka!

It's like another aspect of you, another side of your personality. We all contain multiple personalities in that sense, and some of them are more hidden at times, others more visible. But there's a time for each of these aspects to take centre stage. As for family, you are very lucky to have such wonderful, supportive parents. I would never in a million years have spent 5 months under the same roof with any of my relatives (lets just say I prefer to deal with other people's neuroses in small doses...)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822796974112289222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-57068668322939880112015-04-16T05:03:43.177-07:002015-04-16T05:03:43.177-07:00Ah, saying goodbye never gets easier does it?

If you live far apart, you spend more time together when you visit than those who live in the same city.<br />I love your white outfit, and the backs of the shirt and the vest are stunning.<br />Happiness is a choice, but when you have emotional instability which cause moods that feel like there is nothing else, you need to hold on hard to the conscious choice that this will pass as it has before! Some of us get a lot of practice at choosing! :-D thinking of you in your preparations for your next visit with your parents...there is the choice once again to turn it on its head. xo Jazzy Jack Jazzy Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082508866581606775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-10879982140083281032015-04-16T03:16:14.154-07:002015-04-16T03:16:14.154-07:00A wise man your father, such good advice.
