Today’s the Day

Today is the day I’m going to try to not take any laxatives.

I’m nervous as hell about it. I’m anxious. I want to go take laxatives. I’ve actually considered calling my therapist and I don’t do phone calls.

LoveMe Challenge, Day Final

Day #28: What have you learned this 28 days?

I have learned that it’s hard for me to stick to a challenge like this. I’ve also learned that I can do it. I’ve learned that I can be kind and gentle with myself. I’ve learned that others are very kind to me. And very encouraging. I’ve learned it’s good to take a moment to stop my negative thoughts and try to think well of myself, even if it is just for that moment.

LoveMe Challenge, Day 27

Day #27: What have you accepted about you?

I have accepted that I’m not all bad, like I often feel I am. That I have some good qualities.

LoveMe Challenge, Day 25

Day #25: What makes you laugh?

Gilmore Girls, Parks and Recreation, Mash, Psych, my family’s sense of humor, my friends.

LoveMe Challenge, Day 24

Day #24: What makes you happy?

Spending time with my family. My family makes me happy like nothing else, especially my mom and brothers. I adore my nieces and nephews. I have always been close to my family. I grew up playing board games with them, playing pretend, playing video games, reading with them, arguing with and making up with them, making craft with them, so on and so forth. My family didn’t have a lot of money, but we had each other and we have always been there for each other.

LoveMe Challenge, Day 23

Day #23: What is your best feature?

My eyes. I love the color of my eyes, they’re bright green. My eyes are expressive. They don’t lie. They are the first part of my face to smile.

LoveMe Challenge, Day 22

Day #22: What makes you unique?

I’m really not sure how to answer this, I’m sorry.

LoveMe Challenge, Day 20

Day #20: Something you love to wear

I love to wear my hoodies. They are soft, they keep me warm, they make me feel comfortable, they act like my security blanket when I’m around other people, they have pockets for my hands, they’re just wonderful.

LoveMe Challenge, Day 19

Day #19: Something you feel strongly about.

I feel strongly about keeping my last name if I ever get married. I love my last name, I love the heritage behind it, I love the name itself, and I’m not giving it up for some silly tradition.

LoveMe Challenge, Day 18

Day #18: Something that feeds your brain.

Reading. I’m lucky enough to have been born to two avid readers who also loved to read to their children. I practically grew up in libraries. I adore reading and when the apathy and listlessness of my bipolar depression hasn’t taken over to where I can’t get myself to do anything, I read all the time, anything I can get my hands on, both fiction and non-fiction. Right now I’m reading Loving Our Kids on Purpose, The Way They Learn, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Secret Garden. (The last two are re-reads.)
