Day 24, Friday: Your top 3 worst traits
- I bite my nails.. all the time. I've done it since I was a little kid. I wish I could stop.
- I am very impatient. I am getting better about this one, but man.. If there is something I really want to do, and you are taking forever to get ready or whatever, I will snap!
- I am not very motivated when it comes to dieting, or school. Like, I WANT to do it, but then I get in it, and feel very blah about it all.
Day 25, Saturday: Something someone told you about yourself that you'll never forget (good or bad)
Oh, man. Okay, well when I was getting ready to move to Illinois, I had my friends helping me stuff everything in my car. When everything was packed up, I looked at my two best guy friends and with tears in my eyes, told them goodbye. My best friend Bj, who I have been friends with since 9th grade, handed me a letter and told me not to read it until I got to Illinois. So, I drove from Texas all the way to Illinois and as soon as I passed the state line, I pulled over and read the letter.
Old one, but good one.
He wrote to me that my honesty was contagious, and that in all the times I was spilling my guts to him thinking that he was helping me, that I in fact was helping him. That my life, my "mere existence has shaped the world for good, and it is love that renders everything beautiful." That I had given him hope, and helped him become a person with more compassion. I was in tears. I can't even read the letter without tearing up, even now. Mostly because I really struggle with my self-worth, and to hear from someone that I helped them, that I helped shape them into a better person? That is just something I will never forget.
