Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗
Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.
~Lucille Ball
Whenever a topic like this comes up when I am with friends, I am always tagged proud, but that's not true; I am just someone who loves and appreciates me.
You see, I love myself so much. I don't know if there are people out there that love themselves the way I do.
I have never complained about not liking any part of my body. I remember one time in my 200 level I was having a counseling session with my pastor, and then out of the blue he asked me if there's any part of my body I am ashamed of, and I answered no.
He thought I didn't understand the question; he went further to explain what he meant, and I told him I love every part of my body. He was shocked because apparently that particular season all the young girls he was counseling were complaining about some of their body features they were ashamed of and wish they could do something about.
However, what makes me me and why I love me so much isn't limited to my physical appearance alone; there are other features that embody my personality and values.
Let's dive into this.
Physical features
My bright smile: I have heard from one thousand and one person's and am still counting of how bright and beautiful my smile is. My smile has gotten me into trouble several times. While I was in secondary school, a lot of seniors punished me because I was smiling while they were talking to me, so they thought I was disrespecting them.
Same with my former workplace; two of my heads of unit at different branches have query me because I was smiling while they were talking to me, but you see it was not intentional, nor was I disrespecting them. I mostly smile subconsciously. Things like this can't stop me from smiling because this smile has also brightened people's days and given hope to some.
My smile is a symbol of my warmth.
Beautifully arranged teeth
A guy once told me that the reason why I have confidence to be smiling always is because I have a beautiful set of teeth. When next close up is looking for who to use for an advertisement, you can recommend me.
My legs
They are straight and slender, and they have taken me to many beautiful places.
Personality features
Empathy
This is one of the traits that made me win the hearts of my customers in my former workplace. I could easily connect with them and understand their stories and struggles.
Am focused
Once I set my mine on something, it's usually hard to go back. I have heard people say over and over how they admire this about me.
Growth
I am always ready to learn, unlearn, and relearn as far as it will make me grow and my mindset will be transformed.
Am a giver
Sometimes I feel people take advantage of this. Many times without number I have made a decision not to give or help some certain people, but I still find myself helping this set of people.
I have a kind heart, and I easily forgive; there's no time for hating on people or holding grudges.
You wouldn't blame me for loving myself this much; God took his time to create this masterpiece (me). 😜
Let's share the grace.
