Is this really what it is?

Yes, it really is.

perfect explanation.

I am saving this somewhere

No disrespect to those that find this encouraging.  And I am all for encouragement, self-acceptance, and valuing yourself.  That said, I am not fond of the idea that girls are like fruit on a tree waiting for the right boy to climb the tree.  Nor am I fond of finding your value by comparing yourself to others, and ultimately, putting those peeps down as rotten and easy.  Self-acceptance has to come from within, in order to be real and lasting.  Not from comparisons to others.  And if you find a great match, you don’t need to wait for him/her to come to you.

I think SubjecttoMeg got this pretty much spot on.

Trouble with these kind of analogies is that I am never really sure where I fit in to it… for a long long time I would have identified with the rotten fruit.
