Heya! Once you get this it'd be cool if you answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this on to 10 of your favorite followers. (No poressure though!)
Awww thanks for sharing this ask meme with me, it’s so positive! A year ago I probably wouldn’t even have been able to give you an answer because I was in such a dark place and full of too much self-loathing, but I’m doing much better these days and I think I can take a crack at this!
Things I like about myself, in no particular order:
1. I’m compassionate and caring. I genuinely care about other people. I want to help others and I like seeing people happy and smiling. This most definitely includes you, Xy!!! <3 <3
2. I’m tenacious. If I genuinely want to get something done, I can stick to it and see it through. Sometimes the going is slow, but I know I can get through. It took me a long time to graduate university because I got so sick in the middle of it, but I did it! I went back and finally finished!
3. I’m independent. This is honestly one of my favourite things about myself. It’s not that I’m too stubborn to ask for help when I need it, it’s more that I’ve never really had much help available to me and yet I’ve accomplished so many things anyway! I moved away from home, worked hard, and put myself through university without any help, and then I moved to Japan and I’m living here more or less on my own. I love knowing that even when things are tough, I CAN DO IT!!
4. I’m creative/resourceful/adaptable. I used to have so much anxiety and at one point I kind of let it control my life, and while I still do have anxiety I’m getting a better hold on it. The job I have now requires me to be quite adaptable, and you need to be creative when you’re living in a new country that uses a language you don’t speak. There are so many things I was anxious about that I figured my way around! I’m slowly starting to learn to trust my own abilities a little bit more. I’m pretty capable, I can make things work, so I need to stop being so afraid of fucking everything up. I won’t.
5. My sense of humour. I love that I can make people laugh. I’m feeling a bit disconnected from this part of myself lately because the language barrier can be an obstacle sometimes, but I’m studying Japanese very seriously (I study every day.) My goal is to one day be as funny in Japanese as I am in English lmao. (It’ll take years to get there but that’s where my tenacity kicks in!)
Thanks!
