Six Things

Ah, Jase tagged me in one of these taggable game things (why are meme's called memes?).

The rules are pretty simple. After listing six random things about myself, six people will be tagged who should do the same.

Sound easy enough? Well, I'll try to give you guys some random points that you probably don't already know!

------------------

  1. I used to feel extremely uncomfortable with myself (image-wise). However, I've come to terms with the fact that my body is a certain shape and I am a certain height but that doesn't make me any less beautiful than the taller, skinnier girl.

  2. When I was younger (until the 12th grade), I really wanted to become a vet. This all changed when I spoke to a vet who'd just put down a 'patient'. Deep inside, I knew that I could never bring myself to end a life, so I moved into Engineering instead (which I enjoy, but am not so great at).

  3. Change scares me. Relatively recently, there was a huge change in my life and it impacted me quite severely. But, I think I've come to terms with where I stand (with regards to the issue) and as hard as it is, I now realise that there's no point dwelling on the past and what could have been.

  4. I can play the piano albeit rustily.

  5. Reading, writing and drawing are theraputic for me. Although I enjoy drawing (quite a bit), I'm not creative enough to come up with my own ideas. Instead, I will look at a picture/thing and try to mimic the original artist.

  6. Family is very important to me. I've grown up believing that family is critical to any individual's growth and development and when I have children, I hope to be as family orientated as my parents have been.

I shall get to this eventually. However, I've got a few other posts I've been itching to make for a few weeks now.

OK, it's more than a month late, but I have finally posted a "6 things" blog post in response to this tag.
I also figure that I might as well comment on the 6 things in your post:

1. I've had body image issues too. You can read all about that in "6 things" blog post.

2. I never had a big desire to go into to any kind of medicine. I never wanted to have to memorize all those medical terms ( Even though I do have a good memory ( However, my memory is mostly used to remember meaningless stuff like baseball statistics and the lyrics to 30-year-old commercial jingles. )).

3. Unwanted changes are gonna happen in all our lives because there are so many things in our lives we have no control over. The only thing we truly have control over is how we react to the events in our lives. If we focus on that one thing we can control, things generally work out OK.

4. Love the piano. Wish I could play. However, if I know I never really will learn. If given the choice between spending my free time practicing piano, or spending my time doing all sorts of other stuff I like, I know the "other stuff" is going to win out. Maybe I'll learn when I'm retired and have lots of free time to spare.

5. It's always good to exercise our creative muscles. I guess that's why I started YouTube-ing.

6. Family is why I get out of bed every morning.
