Love 365: Day 100 - 106

this is howl

I love that I can never turn down a challenge.

I love that I can write a good article on ridiculous time constraints.

I love that my Feature Writing professor told me "your writing is brutal sometimes, and I love it." I think, as a journalist, I want to be a person who doesn't feel the need to pull punches or is afraid of being criticized for saying what I think. It makes me happy to know that a Real Professional Journalist acknowledges my potential to be that kind of writer.

I love that I'm the best pancake-maker I know.

I love that I'm excellent at keeping secrets.

I love that I'm learning who my real friends are.

I love that this list is now 106 items long. As someone who used to be very insecure-- and still is, in many ways-- I can think of over 100 things that are great about me. I'm so glad I decided to go through with this resolution, and I can't wait to see what this list looks like by the end of the year!

I love that I'm determined to go to law school.

I love that I wear cool shoes.

I love when I surprise myself. Whether it's a project at work, or a new weight machine at the gym, sometimes I'll think "there's no WAY I can conquer that" and when I'm done, I look back and think "wow, I had it in me all along." It's an awesome feeling!

I love my knack for picking perfect avocados.

I love that I'm a fighter AND a lover.

I love that I was born a Pisces, especially because of the lovely Pisces (Piscean?) ladies I know or admire who mirror and inspire me.

I love that I'm learning to be content, and notice how perfect a moment is, and how that simple perspective makes for a happy life.

I love that I'm having a love affair with milk.

I love that I'm not scared or ashamed to act like a goofball in front of my boyfriend.

I love that I'm in love with the Creator of the universe and that He is constantly growing me.

I love my red hair, and I love that I like getting compliments on it, it boosts my ego, but also lets me remember I am unique without my personality.

I love my awkwardness and the fact that I can survive with human interaction for a weekend and like it. :)
