meme-tastic monday #6: i statements

2009 November 30

our freshman high school health teacher taught a unit on self-esteem. you will not find a graduate of my high school that does not know what a power clap is. she was very big on self-affirmation at a time in our lives when a LOT of us hated ourselves — or at least acted like we did. these little i statements that i found on one of the tumblrings i read really reminded me of her.

i am… a little conflicted.

i keep… text messages that make me smile.

i wish i could… have a day that i didn’t think about being sad even once (this is getting depressing, y’all)

i love… my family. the one i was born into and the one i’ve made for myself out of my circle of friends.

i dance… like a crazy girl when i’m drunk. very flail-y and… drunk looking.

i sing… with almost every song that comes on the radio. even the ones that i don’t know all the words to. just figured out all the words to ‘manic monday’ the other day.

i think… it’s kind of weird to read the words “i think” and go “i have no idea WHAT i think.”

i really… miss being a kid sometimes. hell, even in college.

i need… to snap OUT OF THIS FUNK. yuck.

i should… stop being so negative. that might help.

i can… promise myself to keep doing my best every day.

i like… you guys. a lot.

i make… a lot of kick-ass food. saturday is roomie’s bachelorette and sunday is my scentsy party — there will be TONS of good food at each.

i always… try to think of something funny when i’m feeling blue. it works!

    And don’t forget… “You are a one of a kind human being and a celebration of life!”

    Aw, I love this meme! I think I did it before…a while ago…who really knows, but whatever.

    :)

    I hear you on missing being a kid sometimes. Especially this time of year I get weepy when I realize I don’t get to go through that old familiar box of decorations or read the old Christmas books that were purchased when I was merely a fetus (yeah, they were rather tattered but loved just the same).

    Oh! And I’m the same with the negativity thing. I know I need to stop being negative (which I’ve actually gotten a bit better at lately) but sometimes I just can’t fight the mood I’m in. It’s just too difficult. Ah, well.

    HUGS.
