accept my flaws and try to focus on my strengths
July 5, 2008 17 months ago

I don’t mean this only in the physical sense, but since those are the most obvious flaws I guess I can start there. I always hear people give this kind of advice, to focus on your strengths and try to enhance those rather than spending so much time dwelling on your faults. I mean, I think it is probably worthwhile to try and improve upon your faults as well, to a certain extent, but there is only so much one can do without going to extreme measures like plastic surgery or something.

anyway.

So, what are my best physical features? In the past, I’ve always said it’s my hair. It’s been long and red and pretty and it sets me apart from most of the rest of the world. Only like 3% of the population are natural redheads. Well, at the moment I’m growing out a terrible haircut and my hair is a really bad color while I’m growing out the highlights, too. But I think there is still potential for it to be my best feature, with a little more time and extra care.

As for my flaws….I can’t help but feel like it’s everything else. I’ve got bad skin, bad teeth, fat arms and stick legs, no boobs, etc. You get the picture. I do what I can to improve everything else, but ultimately I just have to accept that I am never going to be a pretty girl.

But I can be the plain girl with pretty hair, and that’s not the worst thing in the world.

#1 Waking up before the rest of the world 18 months ago

I love being up super early. For whatever. Going to the gym, being at a store when it first opens, walking my dogs. I feel like there is so much I can accomplish before the rest of the world wakes up.

Before I start my list, I just want to clarify that these are in no particular order. I’m just going to add things as they come to me. I’m a bit worried that the list is going to be horribly full of superficial indulgences like things I like to eat and drink and shop for….but maybe that will make me re-evaluate my priorities anyway.
