I am Me

Only a few more letters to go!

It is only taking me three months
to finish a one month challenge.
HAH!

Valor

Valor, as it pertains to me and my life,
is personal bravery, perseverance, and courage to 
be the warrior that I am.

Daily challenges are tough for me, yet
I am able to make it to the next day 
knowing that my spirit is not broken.

My daring heart and soul has 
endured lifelong sadness,
 loneliness, stress, depression
and a midst the struggles of life
I still remain strong and hopeful.

That my friends is how I define valor!


 

Be Happy...Scientifically Speaking

And the challenge goes on!
I am determined to finish it with 
a big smile on my face...
happy that I am 
accomplishing my goal.

"The bottom line is, being happier will not only help 
you to be more productive during the day, 
but it can also help you to live a longer life. 
It’s one of the fundamental cornerstones of being 
fulfilled during the short time we spend her on earth. 
Hopefully this chart will put a smile on your 
face and a pep in your step."

Gratitude

Better Late than never is always my policy.
Besides, I am learning to finish what I start.
So, I vow to finish the blog challenge this month.

I am most grateful for my parents,
my daughter, finally being able to be me,
and having hope for the future.

I am also grateful for laughter, 
great times with awesome people,
and self-expression.

I am grateful for freedom, good music, 
and the power of words.

I am grateful for love. 

 

And most of the things above!

Don't Underestimate Me :)

I do have a big mouth though 

and I am not afraid to use it.

I am a genuinely nice person,

but never mistake my kindness as a weakness.

I am not naive just maybe a little too

trusting at times.

I care too much about people and things 
that do not care about me.
I love wholeheartedly.

But remember one thing, 
I always notice way more than anyone ever realizes.

Woe is me,
the one who has a highly sensitive soul.

Just Saying

If you can laugh at yourself literally,
make fun of yourself, 
and are not afraid to be a little silly,
seriously you can do anything.

My Normal To Do List

Some days this is all the 
motivation I have to do anything.

Just to stay awake some days 
is truly impossible.

Oh, the ever loving Selfie

**Click Title Below to Read Article **

Scientists Link Selfies To Narcissism, 

Addiction & Mental Illness

What do you think about this?

While you are pondering this, 
here are a few selfies of me.

Here is what I think of the whole selfie thing:

I am not a narcissist. 
I despise those who are. 

Yes, I am addicted to social media.
But I am lonely and it occupies my time.

No, I am not addicted to posting selfies
by no means, but I do like that I am 
beginning to like certain things about me.

Yes, I do have to take several pictures at a time
in order for me to find ones I like.

And yes I suffer from a mental illness, 
but it has nothing to do with me taking selfies.

I do love attention, but when I post my selfie
I do not do it with the hopes or intention of
getting likes and comments.
I do it just because I can.
I am finally getting a little more 
comfortable at seeing myself in print.
I grew up hating having my picture taken.
I hated seeing myself.
I thought I was so ugly.
I am no way near 100% comfortable 
in my own skin (hence the fact I only
do head shots) but I am working on it.

Of course I understand that some 
people can take selfies to the extreme. 
 I am sorry it causes problems for some.

We all have our reasons why 
we do the things we do.
Honestly, I think that the professionals
have blown the whole selfie thing out of control.
But it is what it is.

Make a wish

I know I am a day late.

Bear with me.  

The Blogger App on my phone

did not want to work last night.

Ugghhh!

But be sure and mark your 

calendars for next year.
