once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. then you have to send this to your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) <3
I love this idea, I think i received this recently and I was so glad to do it. Its often so difficult to think about the things we like and so I am going to try my best to be positive. Thank you for sending this love!!!
1. I like my legs, I am 6′1 so my legs take up about 90% of my body and I’m proud of them. I’ve been working to keep them strong and I can currently lift 70 kilograms with only my legs which is an improvement!
2. I like my hair, I was born with Jewish and Hungarian decent so needless to say I have massive dark brown matted ringlet curls that have been heat damaged and ironed since i was 9 years old. I’ve straightened, bleached, relaxed, done keratin treatments and even shaved my head as a child but nothing helped me love my hair. Now that the natural hair movement began I learned to love my natural hair. I finally cut it short and dyed it pitch back and I leave it in its natural Jewish glory. Why not be proud of what you have?
3. I love my sense of style. I’ve started to finally come into my own style and i learned that punk/goth is the only thing that truly makes me happy and i’ve turned my outfits into punk goals, everything fits my body type and I am proud of how far my fashion choices have come.
4. I am proud of my blog. I started my first blog in 2009 and it was the most emo and sad thing ever so it was deleted, i have had multiple successful blogs since then butt hey were all deleted. This blog that i have had for about 6 years is the only one I am truly proud of. I have met so many amazing people through this blog and it has truly changed my life, I hope it changed yours too
5. I love my brain. I love my deeply scarred, sexual abuse surviving, schizophrenic brain. My brain is the only thing i truly fear but it is the only thing that holds so much. Ive used everything i have access to in order to forget everything I’ve experienced but nothing has been able to penetrate my brain. I’ve had schizophrenia since I was 8 years old, so it is exactly a decade now that I’ve shared my own brain with someone else, fearing all shadows, never knowing what is real and what i’ve conjured. And I've finally learned that nothing will ever take away what I’ve been forced to live with. Yes I will not be able to have children because of the risk of passing this illness on to them, yes getting a job, healthcare, and entering relationships are all extremely difficult because i have to be fully honest and tell everyone about my schizophrenia in order to make all situations safe which has to date cost me three jobs but after years of this torture in my own mind, I’ve learned to love what I am.
