But you've had a bit of progress recently it seems, Ella. I think since last year, despite the gut issues and weight loss, your breasts have shaped up and grown some. I'd love to ignore my breasts! But I can't help but notice them. My latest critique is that I'm not filling out my bras because I don't have enough tissue in the tops of them. It all goes to the bottoms.

Okay, so yes, I've seen the boy recently more than once. It's frustrating because we don't really run in the same circles, so we don't encounter each other naturally. I can't bear to look him in the eye for long because he's so handsome, so I haven't worked up the nerve to smile at him. I've tried to brainstorm some ideas and haven't really come up with anything that will break down the barrier of us not being in the same circles. I can't figure out how to move into his "world," if that makes sense.

I guess the question is how do I bridge that gap? I can't think of any clever way to do it. And please don't tell me to just go up to him and talk to him. I'm way too shy.
