Hello! Once you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this on to 10 of your favorite followers. (Honestly, don’t feel obligated. But it’s good to take a look at ourselves and focus on the things we like about ourselves rather than the things we don’t.)

Aaah, okay. I’m not very good at these things, but I’ll do my best. (It’s a bit sad, but I really struggled to come up with 5). Some of these are a bit personal, so I’ve put them under the cut.

1. My writing. I enjoy writing very much, so one of my favourite things to do is to go back and read over what I’ve written. I still have a lot of room for improvement, but I’m (relatively) happy with a lot of the stuff I’ve produced.

2. My cleanliness. Okay, this one sounds a bit weird (and it’s a bit of a love-hate relationship), but I actually like how tidy I am. It more comes out of a need to have things organised (the hate part of the relationship comes in when I get frustrated over things being messy). But I like it, because it helps me organise my thoughts as much as it helps me organise my environment. (Plus, I think–or at least, I hope–it makes me an easier person to live with?)

3. My generosity. This sounds like I’m bragging, so I really don’t like to put it on the list (but I was struggling to come up with stuff, so…), but I like to think that I’m a fairly selfless person – or at least, I try very hard to be.

4. My passion. I have a tendency to latch onto things I enjoy – hobbies, TV shows, food, anything. It can become a bit of a problem, because sometimes I let my interests consume me completely and I ignore a lot of other important things I should also be doing. But I really love just being able to completely give myself over to a passion of mine. It makes it a lot more enjoyable.

5. My intelligence. Gghh, this one sounds like another brag. But I really like how I’m often able to excel mental challenges. I did very well at school, and I’m doing fairly well at university too. I’m often inclined to being a bit lazy though, but I tend to pick things up fairly quickly, which is something I like about myself. It gives me something to fall back on when I just can’t muster the energy to put in the work. (A very bad mentality though heh).

Ah dang it. I know this is supposed to be about

positivity, but this would have been a lot easier if it asked for 5 things I don’t like about myself (or rather, things I’d like to improve about myself). I know this isn’t the point of the post, but I think one of my greatest flaws is my constant need for improvement (even where it isn’t due). I think this is something I…. *sigh* need to improve on (hehe).

Sorry, don’t listen to my negativity! This was difficult, but I think it was a good exercise. Thank you for sending it to me, Kit!
