everyone seems to be obsessed with their faults and flaws. in the spirit of self-celebration, i've decided to compile a small list of a few reasons to love myself, as said by both myself and others.
1. i've had my heart broken, but i haven't let my heart break me.my heart is made half from steel and half from gold. i've been left by the wayside, but i have found the strength within myself and with the help of my few true and sweet friends to pick myself up and continue on. my father left before i had even learned to walk, before i could support myself physically, let alone emotionally. soon afterwards, my mother left because her mind left her. this vicious domino effect has ridden on my back like my shadow for the past twenty years, but i have somehow been brave enough to tackle each day as it is given to me.
2. "you are one of the most precious people i've ever known."
t spoke those words to me one night before we went to sleep. we were both lost in a haze and were barely awake, but as soon as the words escaped his lips, it sent a jolt through my heart. so many men have said so many sweet things to me, but that is one of the only things i've remembered.
3. i'm pretty good in the sack.
or so i've been told. i don't know.
4. i'm a real life betty crocker.and i'm super thoughtful for bringing orange juice as an alternative to milk for my lactose intolerant co-workers.
