Ten things?

Whatever, I'll give it a shot.

1. I'm creative. I've always tried to cling to that more than anything else.
2. I'm a decent writer and have recently been bitten once again for writing stories/fanfictions/etc as well as rp.
3. I'm a decent parent? I like to think...
4. My hair. I finally got it cut and styled the way I like it and I rock this shiz.
5. My hands. I've done plenty of yard work, carpentry, and house work with them but I'm always told they're super soft and it amazes me.
6. My random knowledge in stupid or pointless subjects. I study the lamest things but they occasionally come in handy.
7. My ability to solve puzzles. I'm no genius by a landslide but I'm pretty good with puzzles. I love brain teasers until I can't solve them, then I hate them.
8. I have a big heart and I tend to be accepting of a lot of people. I'm a loyal and strong friend, no matter if you're a flying toaster with a preference for oranges or a dragon dating a penguin; I don't judge, and actually find things more bizarre or "out there" to be perfectly intriguing and, in some ways, perfectly normal.
9. My inner strength. I've been fighting depression most of my life and it's not won yet.
10. Being gay. I dunno I just love it.

I LOVE THESE. I hope you're super proud of yourself babe!

Y'know I wasn't at first but the more I wrote, the prouder I got. That really helped. Thank you for the prompt! Where's your list?

Ten things. Ten things that, preferably, aren't double-edged swords. H'okay.

1. I'm an agreeable sort of person; a variety of people seem to feel at ease around me.
   
2. I think I'm happier with my body than most females are.
   
3. If a thing needs to get done, it'll get done. (Shut up, brain, I qualified it.)
   
4. I learn the basics of most things very quickly.
   
5. I've been getting better about admitting when I need help.
   
6. I don't produce a lot of sweat or body odor.
   
7. My hair is easy to keep soft. (It just won't hold a curl for anything.)
   
8. I can remain calm during many stressful situations.
   
9. I forgive easy and seek the good in everyone.
   
10. I'm adorable. I even squeak when I sneeze.

I'll take a shot.

•I am artistic.
•I am pale. It makes a lot of things stand out on me, like my eye color. Also, my pale complection allows me to apply face paint easily.
•I am sarcastic. It is all for comedy.
•I have a rather creative mind. Once I get an idea, everything blooms from there.
•My general appearance. I am just going to say I look a lot more normal than most of the people who live in my home town.
•My DETERMINATION passion. I can get really riled up to defend my beliefs and opinion
•My love of animals. Pets bring people together. What else is there to say?

...I cannot think of anything else... Seven out of ten isn't too bad though. I got pretty far. I am a pretty negative person so this is really hard for me.

This is a fabulous idea! Kudos for thinking of it!

1. My tattoo. Oh my word probably one of my best choices in regards to my body.
2. My loving nature. It really helps me to help other people. Sometimes people just need some love, and it makes me so happy when I can give it to them!
3. My creativity. Apparently I have some pretty awesome dreams compared to some people. I'm always going on adventures all the time; real life, RP, and in my dreams!
4. My belief. I'm working towards being a better Christian every day, but I just can't see myself without Christ.
5. My friendly nature. I can make friends with just about anyone. Which means I have some really great, epic friends
6. (wow this is harder than I expected) My legs. I know this sounds really weird, but when I put on some heels and I've got a skirt or something I just look at my legs and think 'dang man I'm sexy'. BEST. FEELING. EVER.
7. At least in my opinion, I'm a pretty great aunt!
8. I'm skinny. While this is sometimes a double-edged sword, I've learned to embrace it; it makes shopping a lot easier when I can buy a Large in the girl's section (not women's, girls) and save a bunch of money.
9. On the same thread, I love my innate sense of getting great deals. My mom calls me the Clearance Queen because I manage to get amazing stuff for super cheap. My gorgeous senior formal dress for college cost me 20$, and everyone loved it.
10. I have finally learned to be okay with crying in front of people. And I love that.

Holy nuggets that was actually a lot harder than I expected! And I'm a pretty upbeat person! Wow

(Hmm. I don't really know if I could do it myself, I don't see anything interesting or cool. I guess I could call upon the help of my creations.)

I don't know what you're talking about there, missy. Already I've seen things in this kid. Things they haven't noticed.

First off, me. I am a fairly solid persona built of my their wishes. Slightly weird, but they strive to develop me for that reason.
Hey, I guess it also shows that they like to set goals. Only ever big goals with lots of wishy thinking, but they'll try what they can to achieve those goals, which could lead to experimentation. From experimentation, comes creativity. The drive to change things to be unique. It helps the likes of me not just be a generic dragon.

So what else? I've seen them try be as nice as possible. Maybe not in low moods, but that is an area for improvement. Those mistakes and errors don't go un-tended to. They're like mini goals to 3DS.

And, unfortunately, that's where I hit a block. 6 points. I tried, I guess.

My 10!!

1. Like, lately, the way my heart does this little mad fluttering thing??!!
It's get all antsy + happy whenever my girlfriend is around and she makes me super, super happy.

2. I'm not the person I was. I have a really good capacity for self-cultivation + positive growth, I'm so proud that I can continue to grow even in the face of adversity. I'm super happy because of that & continue every day.

3. The fact I have a really good life and amazing friends. I'm so grateful.

4. My art is a visual apology, but my written work is sometimes really beautiful and comes out better than expected. I've even won a prize or two for poetry.

5. That I have a good sense of humour and can brighten people's days and make them smile.

6. My makeup skills are getting better every day.

7. My fashion choices are better.

8. My hair is still so soft and strong despite being bleached blonde!!!

9. Really happy with my workout routine and dietary commitments -- they're really sticking and showing mad results!

10. Everything I've done & continue to do for charities and causes & to help people. It's worth it. Always.

YOU GUYS!! these are all fantastic 😀😀 even if you can't make ten youre on your way there & recognising how great you are ☺️ thats the most important thing ❤️❤️❤️

lemme tryyy.

1. I have embraced the fact that I am not meant to march to the beat of another person’s drum
2. I am extra-ordinarily nerdy; I am in to anime, gaming, comics, animated films and animals – and that no one can shame me for my interests. And that I am not always going to fit in with a lot of groups.
3. I can speak one of the harder languages in the world – Japanese. And I don’t care if people call me a Weeb over it.
4. I am a loyal, upstanding friend. And tend to become a pitpull for them when the time arises i.e defending them and jumping in to confrontations they may not be able to handle.
5. Working on overcoming social anxiety and depression and catching myself being judgmental of others. Living in that constant state of affairs isn’t healthy, and acknowledging that yes you can be frustrated and upset and question things is fine but obsessing over it = destructive.
6. Becoming happier with the direction in which my art and creativity is going. For a long time, I disliked my art, and every so often would purge the living hell out of my art accounts of any trace of what I considered disgusting/ I am learning now not to do that.
7. Keeping on track with getting healthy by making frequent stops to the gym, walking around the block and performing yoga on the fly. I have become unhappy with how my body has become after stress and I want to fix it. (I already eat healthily! Almost a gluten free diet, and limited sugars)
8. That not everyone is going to like or love me as a person or my creations. And I shouldn’t allow that knowledge to bother me anymore or become a stress. And that I am learning myself how to handle my own negative situations better ( I can handle it for other people but when it comes to myself, its hard)
9. I cry at sad parts in animated films and this is ok. Even Disney and Ghibli make me sniff and warble.
10. That I try to make friends with people despite what others may say.

This seems like a really super cool, super positive thing to try and do.. and right now I could probably use some self positives. Thank you Fiebs for thinking of something like this!

• I'm always eager to help someone so long as I know they need help.
• I'm honest about myself, both the good and the bad.
• I would like to think that creatively, I'm pretty good at what I do. I think I create realistic characters with as many positives as pitfalls and I feel like I'm always eager to run along with an idea or a storyline.
• I think I'm a good listener. I do my best to try and understand where someone is coming from and what state their in, both emotionally and mentally.
• No judgement I make about someone is permanent. I believe in growing as a person, and being able to not be who you were. I believe everyone deserves another chance to change their behaviors and not to have their past held against him.
• I was strong enough to admit when I needed help. I'm okay being broken, and I admit that I'm a work in progress. I'm working so very hard on my mental health and being able to overcome a lot of my hang ups.
• I believe that I'm super humble. I don't take myself too seriously and I'm not a God of anything I do. I believe in being just a normal person doing what she can with what she has and making the best to bring a little bit of sunshine into people's lives.
• I'm an adult who handles her responsibilities, but I also know how to have fun. Life isn't all fun and games, but you can't take life too seriously because no one gets out alive.
• I may not have classic good looks, or being a size 2, hell I'm not even a size 20.. but I accept that I'm beautiful that my body is my body. That My body can be changed and shaped into what I want, but I will never hate my body. It is the place that houses this Soul.. which is a pretty good Soul.

That was much, much harder than I thought and took a lot more time than I thought. But thank you for letting me be positive about myself. I really needed it.

o1. I'm a very good writer. Even if I 'just' write fanfiction, I write it very well.
o2. I'm confident enough in my body now to wear shorts and skirts in public.
o3. I have excellent and widely varied taste in music.
o4. I can cook just about anything, given a good recipe.
o5. I read way fast. I can finish a fantasy trilogy in about 36 hours, including breaks for real life.
o6. I'm good with kids.
o7. Remember those skirts from #2? I look super cute in them.
o8. I like trying new things.
o9. I don't give up easily.
1o. I actually managed to think of nine things I like about myself.

That. Is. Adorable.


On another note, a lot of these are amazing and make me rethink how I see myself in reading the things everyone else is putting.

I've had a rough week, so I'm going to try this as a pick me up.

1. I am generally optimistic. I hope and wish and assume most of the time that things will work out for the better.
2. I'm artistic, both in words & drawing, and I'm proud of it; even though I haven't practiced in a while, I know I can start practicing again to improve my stories & my drawings.
3. I love being a moderator. I love helping people, and I'm grateful everyday that Kim & the moderation team gave me the opportunity to join them.
4. I'm told I'm one of the hardest workers at my new job. Sometimes I have a hard time believing it, but it's nice to hear it as a new hire.
5. I take the kind path in video games--looking at you, Undertale. Even in dialogue trees that have 0 impact on the story or gameplay, I can't help but take the kind choice.
6. I'm loyal and have a big heart. I've been told it's too big (which sets me up for hurt), but I care too much and am kind of ok with this.
7. I make friends easily. I am a bit shy, but I'm still willing to muster up the ability to talk to people.
8. When I say I'm hoing to do something for someone, generally I will.
9. I have a hard time hating others. If I do, 9/10 times it's because someone hurt me badly.
10. I'm of Irish descent by my maternal grandfather & a Texan. An Irish-Texan-American? I like it about myself, so it counts.

ugh fiebs can i just say i like you?

ok i'll try this bc i am feeling particularly surly rn

1.) i'm good at thinking stuff. not really getting it out into words, bc thought blocking, but i'm real good at thinking it. let's say i'm creative or whatever.

2.) painting. i do a decent job. it makes money sometimes, sometimes not. i don't challenge myself enough but eh, whatever.

3.) uhhh food? i cook good and there ain't a thing i won't eat. try me. 'disgusting' food, 'exotic', 'poor', whatever.

4.) related to the above: poverty makes you a crafty person. i sew real good, i cook real good, i clean up nice and got a few court shirts. life is pretty alright.

5.) okay now this is getting hard, haha. uh i like my body mods and tattoos. i had a little kid compliment me on one that spans most of my left arm, kept pointing at the rainbow tryina show her little sister. it was cute. and then i had a burrito. good day.

6.) people say i'm nice. i dunno about that, but people say it. and that's nice.

7.) i'm reliable. i won't say anything if i don't mean it. i don't lie, i don't beat around the bush, i'm straight forward without being too mean, i think.

8.) my skin tans real nice in the summer. god bless being taino. in the winter i look like a stoat but eh, you take what you can get. e: secured a spot to sell some paintings/sculptures in an upcoming pow wow in NY state if i can pay the fee, so there's also that. wew.

9.) see above. i got some real nice cheekbones and some pretty cute eyes. it's cool.

10.) i'm a pretty good UU, despite my general distaste for the usual folk that the principles attract. i treat them with respect and kindness anyway.

1-9. My hair
10. My eyes

That work? lmao

You guys give me life!!
It really makes my day to see people celebrating themselves and giving themselves a boost.
I'm so happy with the positive impact this post is having.


ily guys

This should be easy... lel, jk.

1}I am quite intelligent.

2}When I do something, I NEVER do it half-hearted.

3}I don't care what other think. (Mostly applies to my hair... lol)

4}I am pretty good at Trombone!

5}I am very musically inclined in general.

6}I pick up things VERY quickly.

7}I'm usually the life of the party.

8}I'm nice to EVERYONE, and in return

9}Nobody is ever mean to me!

10}I have some amazing friends IRL and on the internet!



I'm the BEST!

11}My self confidence is through the roof (is this a positive?)

Lol, but in all seriousness, this thread is probably the best thing to happen since bread met a butter knife... Thanks to Fiebs! Thanks dude, and thank all you that posted here for contributing to yourself, and the community.

This would be nice to try considering I do seem to focus on the negatives instead of the positives.

1. I'm a very passionate person. Though I may not be good at everything I can guarantee that I will give it all I got!

2. I'm not too shabby of a person to debate with. This may seem like an odd thing, but my biggest passion in life would probably be having intellectual conversations with people about things that truly do matter. I do believe that I'm very level-headed when it comes to accepting that people will not always agree with me!

3. Singing! I like to believe I'm a fairly decent singer.

4. Chatty Cathy... When someone gets to know my I can be a fairly obnoxious and talkative person. This however is one of my favorite qualities about myself.

5. Sensitive. I usually look at this as a negative but I've come to find that it only makes me human. I'm glad that I'm able to feel so much sympathy towards certain people and situations and believe it really does make me greatful for my life today.

6. My smile! When I was younger I use to hate my smile, but lately I've come to realize how beautiful everyone else is when they smile and I've come to embrace it!

7. I'm a dork and proud! Little things make me excipients and it is super fun to geek out.

8. Book worm! I've always been fairly good at reading, and I'm glad that I am speed through books fast.

9. I think I can seriously rock a dress!

10. I like that I don't have to wear a lot of makeup to feel good about myself.
