    it is an act of growing ourselves
    i think your confidence builds as well as you go along
    going from kinda sorta pretty to a more confident sexy
    that has no modifier...i like your connection to nature as well...

    Love the flow of this one, and the funny thing (or maybe that's just me) is just how amazingly it actually fits with both prompts! Great write!
