I’ve been meaning to write this love list for a while now, every since I read Jackie’s post, some time last month! Sorry it’s taken me so long to type my response to your challenge Jackie!
For those of you who don’t know, Jackie challenged her readers to compose what she called a love list, with ten things about ourselves that we like (even better, ten things we love).
Without trying to sound vain, or up myself, here are ten things [I think] I love about myself. Here goes nothing:
- My hugs (are amazing =p). Anyone who knows me knows that I love to give and receive hugs. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to know that the hugs I love giving, although sometimes received with questioning looks, are more often than not appreciated by those who really matter to me.
- I’m one of those people that likes everyone (until you give me a reason to dislike you). Although it’s seen me get into trouble (numerous times), I can’t help but see the good in everyone; and despite what my friends say, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. It makes me extremely trusting of people that I sometimes find I shouldn’t trust. Nevertheless, I believe that there’s good in everyone, and everyone deserves the chance to show it.
- I’m a little bit childish
at times(most of the time) and I’ve been told that this is part of the reason that people can’t hate me, no matter how hard they try (Jen’s words, not mine =D). Resistance is futile! - I’ve been told that I have a contagious smile. I like the fact that when I’m smiling, my family and friends also feel like smiling!
- The ability to make friends has been with me practically all my life (minus a few of my earlier teenage years). I’m extremely grateful that I’m able to (mostly) avoid extremely awkward silences when conversing with people that I’ve not met before. An example of this (that I hold close to my heart) would have to be when I met one of my (now) best friends on a train.
- My ability to pick up things quickly. I’m a fast learner, extremely practical and able. Once I learn how to do something, I’m able to execute the task efficiently and effectively. I love the fact that I’m especially fast at learning things when it comes to technology (something I thank my Dad for).
- I have great hygiene (thanks to my mom) and as a result, I have pretty good skin (:
Alright. I’m cheating and leaving it at seven for now, only because I can’t think of three more things. Hope that’s alright for now Jackie!
Stay awesome guys!

- I can't lie about my feelings. I will express the way I feel, no matter what the emotion; when I'm happy, I radiate happiness; when I'm sad, it shows; when I'm angry, I'm honest enough to be angry "out loud" which usually helps resolve the issue that's caused the anger in the first place. I never realised how much I like this about myself until yesterday. Some people might find that it's too much to deal with, but I prefer being honest to myself and others over lying about the way I'm feeling.

Of course! I'm glad you didn't forget.
Now, how did writing all those make you feel? Great I hope.
I'm in an Adult Journey course, which essentially is a required course at my uni, and they have a very similar concept to this.
Self validation or something like that, and I wasn't really sure on the concept-- but now that I see people doing this in a practical setting, I might try this as well.
Also, childishness for the win! =P
That's such a awesome list! You're the coolest person ever... Why do you have to be ALL the way in Australia?!
I miss your hugs :(
Also, maybe item number 2 on your list is the reason you might be considered "easy"? Not that you should change that.
all fine qualities. Of course, just like everything, any quality that you have has positives and negatives. The thing is, are your qualities things that you can personally live with. That's all that matters.
P.S. Thanks for the condolences regarding my Aunt. I'll likely travel for the funeral over the weekend. It might put some stress in me scholastically in the short term but I feel like I should go. Much of my family in Vancouver are going as well over the next few days to attend as well.
Last night, hearing the news of her passing was hard though. My Aunt has been in the corner of my mind all day. I guess It takes time to heal fully.
thanks for being a friend. Keep healthy and safe in those Sand Storms in Sydney. They look really nasty.
