Thank you all for the asks! I was so surprised to have so much in my inbox when I woke up. *laughs* I thought for sure someone was coming to chew me out for something, but it was lovely positivity instead. <3 I appreciate you all for thinking of me.
Edited to add: @kaosstar tagged me later so let me add you here, and thank you!
5. I’m feeling good about my writing over this last year. I can see improvement, and I have the coolest readers and commenters who give me great feedback and encouragement so that really helps me see where I’m doing better and what I need to work on.
4. I’ve always been a very good listener. I do tend to want to come up with solutions, though, so if you want me to just listen, say so and I’ll be happy to do it.. otherwise I’m likely to try to help in some way and I know sometimes that’s not what is desired.
3. I like my strength and willingness to fight for myself. It’s a necessity, unfortunately, given the demographic that I reside in ethnically and as a woman, but I’m still proud of myself for never letting people break me down no matter what they do. It’s been extremely tough this year, and I’ve stumbled and needed a shoulder to lean on a lot more than I used to. But I’m hanging in there.
2. I’m a great mom. (My kid says so, thus it must be true) I have a fantastic kid, who trusts me and loves spending time with me (even though she’s a teenager now!), and I’m proud that I helped her become the person that she is, and I’m looking forward to seeing who she becomes now that a lot of my direct influence time is mostly over.
1. I love that I’ve never stopped wanting to learn everything that I can. I’ve always been curious and I hate being ignorant about anything. If I don’t understand something, I read about it, I try it, I learn about it. I’ve never grown out of that, and I hope that I never do.
