compile a list of 100 facts about myself
I figure this is the first step to "being myself". 11 hours ago

1. I pace when I’m excited about something.
Whenever I get really into some idea or project, I start silently pacing and grinning at regular intervals, causing everyone around me to think that I’m quite mad.

2. I’m loud about my opinions, and I have a lot of opinions, so I’m pretty much loud all the time.

3. Without contact with other people, my energy withers and dies which technically makes me an extrovert, despite my being painfully shy.

4. I think that family is one of the most important things there is and I would do anything for mine. (And I don’t think that a family is necessarily composed of relatives.)

5. I was born on the Greek Orthadox Church’s feast day for Mary Magdalene, July 22, and she was my favorite apostle even before I found that out.

6. When it comes to religion, I’m gullible. I think that every god/godess/divine being/mythological creature/superhero exists on some level, even if it’s “only” a mental one.

8. Leave anonymous notes around for people to find
When people find something special and unexpected and kind, you can usually expect a smile. Every time someone smiles, someone sees them and can’t help but smile, and so on. Little ripples, et cetera.
Hence, notes. This is inspired mainly by Operation Beautiful
which is an awesome project dedicated to making sure everyone knows they’re beautiful.
I’ve written 65 notes so far on index cards and I’ll be leaving them everywhere I go throughout this week.

9. Smile
The reason for this was posted above. Smiles are contagious, and the simple act of smiling slightly lifts the mood, so whenever I smile around other people I improve my own and everyone else’s mood.

10. Volunteer
This one I’m already doing, but I want to make sure that I keep on doing it. So many people seem to be unaware how many resources would be unavailable without volunteers. At the moment I volunteer four hours a week at a library, but I’ll be moving soon so I’ll have to find somewhere new to volunteer.

11. Scatter native wildflower seeds wherever I go
I have a packet of wildflower seeds native to my area. I want to start taking them along with me and scattering them in bleak places. It’ll help the environment and cheer people up to boot!
