Name one thing you like about yourself (Feel good thread)

[Zephyr]

I like that I have awesome scars everywhere, and they all have cool/painful stories. Chicks dig the scars.

Sorry ladies, I'm taken

There's this kid, some 1/3 of my age. We took 2nd university semester Chinese at the same time. Her native language is Cantonese and/or Vietnamese, and we studied "Mandarin". She was close to finishing her MChemEng in pharmaceutical chemistry. My degree is a MChemEng in organic chemistry - there was no pharmaceutical chemistry dept. in those days, but I worked in that industry for some years. To finance her studies, she worked two jobs in a senior citizens' home, and helped out in a restaurant owned by an uncle of hers (she's an ethnical rather Chinese, with most of her family in Vietnam and Canada, and a few in Sweden). It was impossible not to take a liking to her, especially as she was a very open and friendly kind of person.

Once during a recess, she said that she was going to buy a laptop of a certain well-known brand. I reacted immediately. "Give me the weekend, and I'll suggest a better deal on Monday." Su' 'nuff, then I told her that a shop on walking distance from the uni could get her a box at least as good as the one she considered, at some USD 800 less. She said that it wouldn't work, b/c her choice offered an installment plan, and she couldn't afford cash payment. So I bought it for her.

To talk her into accepting the deal, I told her that I have no children of my own, and that all my nieces and nephews are doing quite well, even without help from their fairly well off parents, so I appointed her my make-believe daughter. Fortunately, she accepted.

For some months, she very conscientiously paid according to plan, until I got tired of the whole thing (at that time, (late '05) she was studying Chinese in Beijing). So I told her that I wouldn't accept any further payments and that she now was debt free. Any Buddhist will understand how grateful I was to have had that opportunity.

Now that her Beijing school has proved less than useful, she fears that she won't get the governmental allowance needed for finishing her degree when returning. I haven't told her yet in so many words, but she won't face any financial problems.

Anders, that's beautiful! I'm happy for you that you've found someone who accepts your generosity.

If I were to answer about something cosmetic...I like my hair and skin. I have naturally curly hair...it's long and it takes red pretty well. That's good for me.

But other than that...my favorite aspects about myself are the spiritual ones...I'm saved...what more could a gal ask for?

(Being married and being a Mom are great pluses as well.)

 

[Bastet]

My eyes. :flirt:

It's hard that the thing that I want to like in myself may only be based on the behavior of others, and not on any attribute of mine at all. I hope that I am compassionate, but usually I think that it's impossible not to love your fellow beings.

I'm finally back up to my ideal weight of 127.

So how tall are you, evearael? I'm just curious because I consider my ideal weight to be 127, too.

My skin is great. Not one blemish, pimple, anything! Which is something I always seem to be fighting, but this side effect of pregnancy I can certainly live with. Unfortunately it won't last. But I can like it while I have it. :jiggy: I just glow with flawless skin now. I love it. :jam:

Flawless skin is the one thing I would love to have more than any other physical feature. I hate my skin. It's not terrible, but it's certainly not one of my best traits. You are so, so, so lucky!

 

[Lindsey-Loo]

People like me for the way I am, not the way I look.
I make friends easily.
I can stand up for what I believe in w/o hesitation, and I don't back down.
I can admit when I am wrong.

I'm the Master of My Universe!

 

[Bastet]

Sorry ladies, I'm taken

Sorry ducky, I'm gay.

 

[Bastet]

I'm the Master of My Universe!

Modest, too!

*sigh* Me too. My skin sucks...I'm 30 with the skin of a teenager. :banghead3

 

[1nharmony]

I like to laugh! :jiggy: :biglaugh:

I was constantly battling the occasional pimple. I'd just get rid of one and another would show up. Like I said...this side effect won't last I'm sure, but I can enjoy it now.

I'm constantly battling 10-20 (today I'd say more like 30) at any one time. Even if it's only temporary, I still envy you.

No matter if I only have 10 dollars to my name, at the time,I always make sure to give money to people on the side of the road who are desperately in need.Sometimes I will go buy a bunch of waters and pass them out in the summertime.Other times I will see homeless people who look very hungry and go buy tacos real quick and drive back to where I saw them, hoping they are still there.I pull up on them and surprise them with good hot food.They freak out and always say thanks.This is the best thing I like about myself.Giving.

I like everything about me. I'm smart, I'm handsome, I'm rich, I'm fun, and I'm hung like a grizzly. Plus, I'm very modest. I'm the complete package.
