Know myself, love myself and be myself (and proud of it).

I didn’t even realize that I don’t do all of the things listed in this goal until last night. It wasn’t a big, dramatic breakthrough or anything…it stemmed from a simple comment from my boyfriend. I showed him an image that I’m considering as a tattoo (one of my other goals). I explained the meaning behind it and what it would symbolize for me personally. He listened, then said “I think it’s ok, but you should really get a snake. That would be so hot.” And you know what? I actually considered changing it based on that comment. That’s when I realized that something is wrong with this picture. This is my tattoo, and it needs to mean something to me, not to anyone else. I know, such a small incident…if you could even call it that…but it really showed me how much I change my ideals for other people, even small ones. I want to work on knowing what I want and what I believe in, and being proud of the person that I am. I deserve that.
