"I'm sassy and passionate.
Chaotic. Sarcastic. Occasionally
offensive, a bit awkward, and
never easy to control. I spent
most of my life thinking those
were bad things only to wake
up one day and realize they
were my best qualities."
~Brooke Hampton
I have a somewhat love/hate
relationship with this author;
mostly love with a little hate
thrown in. I was reading her
self-descript yesterday and
thought to myself, "Self, we
would all do well to follow
her example."
Might be the self-acceptance
that comes with aging. We
do tend to lose quite a bit
of nonsense along the way as
we blow out those additional
b-day candles.
My first cousin wrote me
yesterday, talking about self-
acceptance. He seemed to
think I had accomplished it,
but I imagine it's rather an
on-going process.
It occurs to me that we'd all
do well to make an intro type
statement about ourselves.
Thinking here . . . seems to
me, maybe we forget that
essence of being whilst just
trying to get through life the
best we can.
What say you we do this . . .
a thought or two dedicated to
our own personal growth. 'Tis
a thought . . .
Were I just meeting myself for
the first time, I would indeed
note the eccentricity. That, I
celebrate. I love well; I friend
well. I celebrate my path and
intentionally walk it every day
of my life.
If I could only . . . awwwww,
maybe I shouldn't even go there!
Tell me, who are you? How are
you becoming?
