i read something the other day that said:
it IS incredibly important to be your own person and to make that person into someone you love...finding someone else to love is simply the cherry-on-top! i found my cherry-on-top early on but i promise you, i have time to love myself.
so here i am taking some time to love myself. here you'll find a list that when read, can only add up to one person. me!
1. i don't enjoy hanging up clothes...but i sure to love a color-coordinated closet
2. i have a serious obsession with stripes. all thicknesses, colors and combinations of the two
3. i appreciate a great hug...sometimes they are all that can make me feel better
4. i almost always eat all of my dinner before touching my drink...and then i down my drink
5. i can sleep through nearly anything: a yelling brother, washing machines, alarm clocks, tornado sirens, you name it and i'm not hearing it
6. i put on shirts the same way my dad does (thanks to mama for pointing this one out to me) and i think that's pretty cool
7. i like to be creative and lose myself in a project...especially when it's a gift for a friend
8. i love my school so incredibly much but can hardly ever find the perfect words to express why...it's simply a fantastic place to call home
9. i love the way my parents chose to spell lizzi. it's nice and neat and i match my mama (traci)
10. i believe lowercase letters are superior to uppercase letters...and i will argue this until the day i die
11. i exaggerate things...who doesn't
12. i know i care too much about what people think but my boy keeps me grounded
13. i visit GAP approximately 3-6 times a month...and almost always make a purchase
14. i am a firm believer in hand-written correspondence. it's a beautiful thing
15. i smile at things, at people, at animals, at walls...i like to smile
16. i am really great at choosing a series on Netflix and committing myself to it...ex: OTH, Grey's, Gossip Girl, OITNB (it's a problem)
17. i think that i was raised into a religion called "love." it's the most beautiful religion of all and more people should convert
18. i am knock-kneed...cue clumsy moment
19. i can't imagine being a daughter to a different daddy...mine is beyond amazing
20. i love to write. i should really do so more often
21. "..." is my most commonly used form of punctuation...i'm sure you've noticed
22. i am so glad i have a little brother because i think he's pretty much the coolest guy ever
23. i know that relationships are the most important thing in life...i cherish the ones i have
24. i love where and how i grew up...i owe my parents so much and don't think i'll ever be able to pay them back fully
25. i keep my radio volume on even numbers...and if it's on an odd, it won't be for long.
26. i have little self-control when it comes to ice-cream...and i don't flavor or brand discriminate
27. i admire so much about my mom and i don't tell her that enough...thanks for being you, mama
28. i am learning to think twice about what i say and do and how other people interpret it and it's really kind of hard
29. i "random dance" pretty much anywhere...i once knocked my brother out with a high kick in the kitchen
30. i am stopping here because it's an even number...and i feel "loved" enough for the moment :)
hopefully you learned something new... i know i'm learning more about myself each and every day!
just living,
lizzi
