So, tonight, having depressive tendencies and low self esteem, I started crying in the shower over the lack of romance and failed romance in my life.... Blah blah blah. But it gets better.

I managed to pull myself out of my crying rut (yay me!) by remembering a conversation I had with Ruth a while ago about positive self-talk. It sounds kind of corny, I guess, but I think it kind of works. I started thinking of physical aspects and emotional aspects of myself that I like about myself, and I really started to feel better.

Here’s a list:

I am generous AND I have a nice smile.
I am affectionate AND I like the color of my hair.
I am a successful college student AND I have nice hands.
I am a good writer AND I like the color of my eyes.
I am patient with others AND I have a nice skin tone.
I am honest with others AND I like the shape of my face.
Though I like routine, I like to please people, so I am also quite flexible (a go with the flow type of gal) AND I have big knockers, which the boys seem to like sometimes.
