Me Myself and I

Gold Member
For so many years I have been concentrating only on the negative side of everything around me, forgetting about the beauty and the nice things in life. I have realized that by doing that I was harming myself, my subconscious, my mind and my body. So I decided to try something different, to attempt and change my attitude towards everything. I knew that if I wanted to see a difference, if I wanted to find the bright side, and change my life, I would have had to start from the inside, from me, from where all of us should start...

It is not easy at first, but when you start touching the differences and feel your life becoming lighter everyday a bit more, then you become addicted to this new attitude.

So if you like, let's try to take that step together, today, here, by answering this simple yet sometimes difficult question!

What do I like most about myself?

We all owe ourselves self-appreciation! So lock modesty aside and get your best qualities out! :):tup:
 
What do I like most about myself

- I like how I have learned to cope with PTSD way better than before.
- I like how much I like to laugh and have fun.
- I like how I am finally starting to accept myself.
- How good I am at learning languages! I speak three and a half! ( Spanish is still a work under progress) Ahah :D
- I like how strong I can be when I least expect it!

These are the ones that first came up to my mind...

Now it's your turn! :happy:
 
I was told this week that I am BOLD. I like that. I had not realized that, but it is true. I am also courageous. I guess those two things go together.

I have silver hair. I have been told that my hair is beautiful, never to dye it and don't cut it either. It is long. I like it, even though sometimes when it is windy it blows in my face and drives me nuts!

I am creative. I am a good listener. I like to help people. (Especially the helpless).

I sometimes am persistent, but I could be more so. I need to work on that, as in the past, sometimes, depending upon what, I have given up before I should have. On the other hand, I was married for 23 years until the day he died, so I stuck it out in that area of my life. I did make some mistakes in my marriage, but hey, who hasn't? Right??

I'm a peace loving person, rarely getting angry or nasty. I also work to bring peace between others.
 
> I am a good listener :tup:
> Mad, witty and quite wicked / naughty at times sense of humour. I love to make people laugh and smile (even when inside i might be crying and in pain) :D :roflmao: :playful:
> My really bad impressions - particular those of bad Cabaret acts :singing::whistling:
> Loyal and supportive :hug:
> Tenacious and determined :banghead:
> Hardworking :cool:
 
What a great thing to focus our a-tension on, for sure! There's no one else waiting in the wings to happily and frequently point out our best attributes, at least not that I've found yet, so we may as well get busy doing it ourselves! More self-loving, less self-mutilating, be it verbally or otherwise. :inlove:

I like that I can be quite creative, be it for pleasure or to work through a serious issue.

I like that I can grow many edible things, which is odd, as I used to never be able to keep even a cactus alive.

I like that I can recognize edible vegetation in the wild.

I like that I can take said vegetation and turn it into medicinal magic for things that ail me.

I like that kids and animals (and a few random adults) are drawn to me and enjoy my company.

I like that I feel things so incredibly deeply, most days, and don't mind sharing, in most arenas.

I like that I love to cook and figured out how to healthily, affordably, and sustainably do so while no longer causing purposeful harm to animals simply to satisfy taste bud addictions - changing the world as best I know how within my own proximities, one bite a time.

I like that I feel no fear in speaking out about things that matter.

I like that I was eventually taught how resistance can be assistance to the very thing I wish to avoid....ha....who knew?

I like that I know how to make my own damn hula hoops and can enjoy spreading the joy everywhere I roam.

I like that I don't hesitate to break out in song or dance no matter where I am.

I like that tie-dye is my favorite color.

I like that I finally feel secure enough in my being, as it was meant to be, to venture out without shaving legs, pits, etc. and without make-up - never, ever did I, or anyone who has ever known me, think that would happen.

I like that I experienced the openness of sharing many different forms of love through the years...so much wisdom gained and some very clear knowledge on what NOT to do or allow in the future.

I like that I give much less of an overall damn about certain things that were deeply ingrained into my brain by others and can see how incredibly imprisoning it can be to choose living any other way.

I like that I'm now allergic to masks. lol

I like that I finally know how to love me, sincerely.

I like this space and the chance it allows to bring some amazing badassery, such as we, together in one place. Bravo!
