A little help from my friends...

I had a mini existential crisis today, because I was feeling really down on myself for reasons I won't get into. You see, I'm happy with who I am. I admit my flaws and have grown to embrace them as a part of the total package. I don't have to love the way I look or the way people react to me, but I'm overall accepting of the woman I see in the mirror and I try to love her as she is, without reservation. But that doesn't mean that everyone sees what I see and today I checked in with a few of my closest friends to see if there was something I was missing, if there was anything I was blind to, consciously or not. Here is how they see me, in their own words:

   ☆ A great friend
   ☆ An amazing mom
   ☆ Energetic
   ☆ Open
   ☆ Easy to relax with
   ☆ Trustworthy
   ☆ A great advisor
   ☆ Great to laugh with
   ☆ Without moderation
   ☆ Unapologetically awesome
   ☆ Not-so-average
   ☆ Crazy
   ☆ Tolerant
   ☆ Worthy
   ☆ Deserving
   ☆ Occasionally thoughtless and/or selfish
   ☆ Occasionally beautiful and graceful
   ☆ Incite deep emotions in others
   ☆ Emotionally compartmentalized
   ☆ OCD
   ☆ A good person
   ☆ Live on a whim
   ☆ Desire Lust for attention, affection, and intimacy
   ☆ Interesting
   ☆ Funny
   ☆ A really caring person
   ☆ Unconventional
   ☆ Occasionally make people uneasy
   ☆ Misunderstood
   ☆ Easy-going

It just goes to show that I have amazing friends, who know and love me just the way I am, warts and all.
