why is it considered pompous to speak of the love you feel for yourself

why do we think we can't eat unless we burn off x amount of calories first

today:

i feel a peace I can't give a name

i look in the mirror to a face familiar

i am not perfect

i have looked much better

my abs aren't perfectly defined

my thoughts are often scattered

my words sometimes unkind

i am a work in progress

a constant success
