I cherish each and every message left me and count all these amazing ladies my friends. But I am always surprised when I do get comments. Does that surprise ever go away?

But we have to keep everything in perspective and realize that we shouldn't feel pressured into feeling that we don't "measure up" if we don't have the number of comments or followers that others have.
