Give me a compliment.

My family is not very talkative. I don’t mean my immediate family but rather my extended family. I seriously think that I could lob a part of my body off and no one in my extended family would say anything. On one hand this has always given me some sense of security in knowing that I could do just about anything and not get yelled at. My parents never said a word when I got a tattoo. From another standpoint this has left me crazy just a little bit of positive attention. For example I recently lost a good amount of weight. I never said a word about being on one of those quick weight loss diets. I thought that maybe someone would notice there was 25 pounds less of me but no one has said a word. I don’t know why but I just wished they would say even one little thing to let me know they notice my smaller frame. I realize that I have to do this for me and shouldn’t care what other people think. There is still this little girl in me who was always teased for being chubby that just wants her parents to notice that she isn’t chubby anymore.
