10 Things I Like About Me

I saw a post on a blog and it inspired me.
See the original post here.
 
We all go through rough patches. During these moments, I don't know about you, but I really tear myself down. So to counteract that I am going to come up with things I like about myself.
 
1. Change. I love the fact that I can change. If I don't like something about myself I don't have to settle. I have the ability to change.
2. Recording Things. Whether it is my photos, journals, or blogs. I love to make sure I don't forget the little details in my life. You never know if you are going to lose your memory.
3. Similar to my Grandma Larrabee and my Mother. I love that my Grandma is my twin. I love doing something and thinking "Wow, I am turning into my mother and/or my Grandmother.
4. Physical Features: Eyes & Smile. My eyes are brown. It took me some years of staring in the mirror to come to terms with the plainness of my eyes. But once I decided to like my eyes I fell more in love with them. They may not be piercingly blue, or emerald green, just regular brown, but they are mine. I love my smile because it reminds me that I am strong. That I too can do hard things.
5. Laughing at myself. I realize that I am dumb. I make dumb decisions, say dumb things, and if I wasn't able to laugh at myself, then life would be a very long road.
6. Traveling through books. I love that I can pick up a book and travel into another world. Generally when I am reading you can't distract me. I literally become consumed in the world that I hold in my hands.
7. Cleanliness. Some people may hate the cleanliness thing but I like it. It makes me feel in control of my life. And life is just better when your environment is clean.
8. Music. I love how music is such a huge part of my life. It speaks straight to the soul. I feel like it is raw emotion. And besides, singing is too much fun not to do it.
9. Simplicity. I don't believe in complicated. At all. I hate it when people make things complicated because things generally aren't. I see the simplicity in life.
10. Planning. This last one is something I love about myself but also despise at time. To me, planning is fun. Others hate it, so I love being about to share this with people. It is serving people in the smallest way. But why do I hate it? Sometimes anxiety gets the best of me. But that is what I am learning to live with; leading back to number one.
