Day 6 - 9

I owe myself a bit of optimism.  I was... otherwise engaged over this weekend.  I apologize for neglecting my daily-posting task.  It happens, I suppose.  Anyway, let's see if I can come up with 4 things about me that I enjoy in one sitting.

I truly appreciate my Master and all that he does for us.

I have a wide breadth of interests, and therefore can be happy doing many different things.

I am patient (when I need to be).

I am excessively honest.

I may return to the "honesty" one later.  But in the mean time, this post should make up for 05/06-05/09. :)

Day 5

I am a hard worker.

I work hard.  I do.  I am willing to put in the proper amount of effort into things to get a decent pay off.  I'm intrinsically motivated to work (most days) and I always get what needs to be done finished.

Day 4 - Intellectualism

I am an intellectual.

I will come out and say it frankly.  I am fucking smart.  Too smart for my own damn good, sometimes.  But I love the freedom that intellectualism brings to me.  I am thankful to Master for giving (forcing?) me the opportunity to continue to expand my academic knowledge and abilities.  Thank you for sharing in those things with me (Remember, we CALLED it - it was soooo Khafre, not Khufu).  At any rate, I love this trait about myself.  I am sure this is coming off arrogant, but I want to appreciate the gift of intelligence that I've been given... and it is a large, wonderful gift.  And also, I would like to thank those who have nurtured this quality and given it the chance to grow into the beauty it is now and that it may become.

Day 3

I am highly empathetic.

This one actually used to be a problem for me.  I couldn't separate myself from other people's issues.  This resulted in me pulling away and trying to close myself off from people entirely.  That didn't work either.  I have finally found balance and the ability to understand/empathize without making myself sick.  Empathy is sometimes still painful, but I am very grateful for the ability to nearly always see both sides of the coin (so to speak).

Day 2

I am unafraid to speak my mind.

I take this one for granted.  A lot.  But I was gifted with the ability to communicate well and to voice (and support) my opinions without backing down - regardless of how unpopular they may be.  I like that about myself.

30 Days of Self-Love

My attention was drawn to this on fetlife.


"i think it's time for some of us to change how we view ourselves... to look upon and within ourselves more kindly.

all you have to do is simply:

start a journal entry either here on fetlife or privately... and then...

everyday for 30 days... write something kind about yourself.. something that you like about yourself... that has nothing to do with your outter shell

concentrate on who you are on the inside... the beautiful spirit that lies within you. forget who you were... who you thought you were... or who others made you think you were. focus on the 'you' that you are now, or are in the process of creating."

My Master hasn't told me to do it, but I know he'll want me to as soon as I bring it up.  Which is why I am going to start now, with day one.  Findings things I like about myself is.... hard.  But I'll do my best.

I am extremely loyal.

To my friends.  To my family.  To my Master.  I am not a doormat in any sense of the word, but I will go to hell and back for the ones I love.  And I love that about myself.
