30 Days of Truth: Day 02

Day 02: Something You Love About Yourself

I couldn't believe how difficult today's topic was either. I will admit right now, that you wouldn't believe how much my self-love and self-confidence has boosted, even just in the past year alone. Each and every day, I'm learning to love things about myself more and more. I didn't want to make this list go on and on and on, so I've narrowed it down to a few things again:

• This makes me laugh to think that this was on the list, but I freaking love my hair. Not just the style, but my hair itself. It is naturally curly, but not so curly that it doesn't mind me when I straighten it. In the summer (when it isn't dyed), it takes in sun so well that my natural highlights can be pretty. I get hints of red and blonde all over. It's so manageable that I couldn't have asked for a better head of hair.
• I love how tall I am. When I was in high school, I absolutely hated it because I was taller than most guys at school. I've even grown two more inches since graduating, and I truly love my height. It makes it easy to go out without heels on, and a majority of time I'm still taller than my friends when I do! The only thing I don't like about being tall is that it makes me command attention on the occasions that I do decide to wear heels. (I'm the type of person that would rather do behind-the-scenes type of stuff.) [And in case you were wondering, I stand at a whopping 5'10.5"]
• I love that I am comfortable enough to speak my mind on things that I feel are important. This even pertains to speaking my mind when it comes to friends. Too many times, I let people walk all over me like a welcome mat. Now I can honestly say that if I have a strong enough conviction for something or someone, I have no problem describing to you why it (or that person) is important to me.
• I love how passionate and driven I can be. I know this seems to contradict yesterday's post a little, but I typically go after things that I think will make me happy. Sometimes it requires too much attention and I get tired of putting so much energy into things (which is where I sell myself short). But I am so happy that I challenged myself to complete my Bachelor's with a MINIMUM of a 3.0 GPA, and I'm going to do it.
• I love that my general outlook is the happiest it's ever been in my life. I don't know why I was so unhappy when I was younger. I've never had a rough life, and my mom, grandma, and two aunts have sacrificed so much for me to have a good life. I understand that now. And honestly, I'm so happy with my life partly because of YOU (yes, all my readers). If it weren't for y'all constantly encouraging me, I wouldn't want to write every day. And, I honestly have the best friends ever. And the best family ever. You all freakin' rock!

So that's it, a touch on some of the things I love about myself :)

Thank you for letting me expose part of myself with you, and for letting me be a little vulnerable today.
