So, you can really pick up a lot by sitting around on FH and watching local fly by, as well as speaking to a lot of different people.
One thing I've really noticed, especially recently, is that a lot of people seem to have difficulties seeing the positive things, whether it's in life or in something they've done.
There's so much of "I'm not good at this." or "I can't do that." around.
You might not be good at this, or that, or able to do this/that, but look at the things you CAN do, and the things you can learn.
I am not going to lie, I used to be a full-on pessimist and I despised when people were positive around me.
However, after experiencing new things, travelling, living on my own and much more, I seem to have adapted to my own personality and found things I really like about myself.
It's not until now I realize why teachers always do this whole "Say 3 good things about yourself" or about someone else.
I want you to do this.
Give me a list of at least five positive things about yourself, and if you want, about someone you've met/a friend.
One thing I am always going to preach, which is one thing my mother taught me when I started doing something new.
(I work extra at her job as a florist.)
Even if you're not happy with your work, there's always going to be someone who loves what you've done.
I shall start with a few positive things about myself.
1. I'm friendly towards anyone who hasn't harmed me or my friends.
2. I'm loyal and stick up for my friends, unless I do not agree with their ways.
3. I'm forgiving, apologize to me and prove you've changed, and it's forgotten.
4. I spread positive energy around me. I'm easy-going and non-judgemental, therefore people find it easy to speak to me. I'm very open-minded. c:
5. I'm a vent-box. I carry on a lot of secrets and opinions, but they never come out, as I never feel the need to talk about 'em. It's not my place to speak of them.
6. I'm fairly ok with explaining things, sometimes I tend to draw things out quite a bit because I want myself to be fully understood. Me explaining something that happened earlier in the day or week and I'll end up writing a bloody story about it because I don't know if people will understand unless they have the full context.
7. I'm short. Hey, short girls are cute, right? c'8
