Women are often really hard on ourselves and it’s really understandable. Society expects a lot of us, and women are seen badly for seeing themselves well.

Let’s think positive! What’s your favourite thing about you?

    My favorite thing about myself is that I’m creative. I’ve lost touch with that a little bit but I’m working my way back to it. I used to love drawing, painting, and making things like colored pencil art, abstract design art, Christmas decorations, beaded jewelry - I was always making something. Now I mostly express my creativity with makeup and nails. And I’ve just started picking up woodworking - so far I’ve only built a chair for my deck, but the goal is to make all my deck furniture*, plus a new enclosure for my veggie/fruit garden!

    * There’s a lot to make! A second chair, a sectional to match, a propane firepit with a cement top and matching tank cover, an outdoor dining table with 8 chairs… and I’m considering getting a sewing machine and learning to make cushions for all the seating!

    That ive been beaten down mentally, my spirits crushed, and faced horrors, yet I still havent cracked. Too angry to fall apart, to spiteful to die, and driven entirely by rage.

      I like that you’re not pretending you’re not, we often feel we need to downplay it. Are you book smart or more street smart? Both are valid

    I guess that I’m not afraid to stand up for myself? I wish more ppl would do the same with themselves. It sucks seeing ppl get bullied.

    I really like that I’m different. Diamonds are different to other rocks and they’re worth a packet! I’ve got my own sense of style, and I’m quirky in person. Some people hate it, but I love that there’s only one person quite like me
