self love

i'll admit, i haven't always had the highest of high levels of self esteem over the course of my life (due to many different factors, but i won't get into that), but recently (within the past year or so) i've really started to love myself for who i am and all that jazz.

while i was in class this afternoon i started to think about some of the things that make me..so here's a short list:

• i'm messy and unorganized
• i eat in bed and don't mind the crumbs
• i cheer for the puppies during the puppy bowl
• i'm the only one in my family with freckles
• my love for my favorite color purple can go a little overboard
• i love to laugh
• i sometimes wait until the last minute to take out the trash
• ever since my dad and i waltzed to the flowers dance from the nutcracker at my cotillion, i now get teary-eyed everytime i hear it
• i can't walk over grates
• i've always ALWAYS wanted to be a ballerina

..ok i had more earlier today, but this is all i can think of...

anyways, there's a quote that goes something like "you can't love someone until you love yourself" i really like that...

guess that's all...
