Self Appreciation Challenge

Yup, that’s me

A few things that make me think I’m ok, to the tune of: What I like about you

*

What I like about......me??? Ughhhh..

I don’t get uptight, tell me I’m the only one, never getn’ sleep a night, yeah! Worries whispering in my ear, writing all the things that you wanna hear, it’s freeing- that’s what I like about me.

Another thing about me, though I don’t know how to dance. I’m pretty active for my age, still able to fasten my pants, yeah! Happy thoughts appear all the rage, changing up my mood like I was a mage, ain’t that sweet, that’s what I like about me.

I keep improving year to year, what once was really hard is finally clear, yeah I’m free, that’s what I like about me.

That’s what I like about me, yeahowwww

What I like about me, I’m good at gardening. Flowers growing in the dirt, brightening up the scenery. Yeah - Bees keep buzzing in my ear, sharing fresh cut flowers, bringing cheer, all for free, that’s what I like about me

Another thing about me, I think that I’m funny, throwing sarcasm like that, anything to make you laugh, makes me glad that you’re happy, that’s what I like about me.

(Whispering) I’m learning how to like me, yeah - I’m glad that I like me, I hope that you like me too

Wow, why is it we all seem to struggle with this one?

I mean, when did we go from fearless, self absorbing kids who needed to be reminded to think of others - to these zombie-esk creatures who are now afraid of their own reflections? Or is that just me?

Thanks for reading this silly post.

Seriously, I have come a long way realizing that I am worthy of liking myself.

It’s so important to take a long look in the mirror and like who and what you are, always finding ways to be a better version of yourself.
