Life

*Thought provoking questions found here.

What gets you excited about life?

My daughter. Honestly, she is all I live for. I love to try to see the world through her eyes and enjoy being her mom. I am excited about our future together and hope to see and do many things throughout the next 16 years until she decides she is ready to leave her mom :) Hopefully, she and I will be good friends when she is an adult. I want her to always be able to count on me for anything. Whenever I am down, my daughter knows how to bring me back up, and each day I am learning to live a little more and give more because of her.

Always Wear Clean Underwear

What's the most sensible thing you've ever heard someone say?

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

I have always loved this quote and it reminds me of when my mom always told me to treat others as I would like to be treated. I always make sure that I compliment others, that I fully listen to them, and I take great care to not offend anyone. I never pass judgement, and dislike when others do so to me without actually knowing me.

Now, the most unsensible thing I have ever heard someone say? Wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident. WHY would someone not wear clean underwear in the first place?!? Lol.

Loving Myself

Thought provoking questions found here

Who do you sometimes compare yourself to?

I find that I compare myself to everyone. My friends, my coworkers, girls shopping at the mall, the ex's new girlfriend...etc.

I don't have low self-esteem. I think I am attractive and my personality is great but I always find the "better" qualities in everyone else. When I compare myself to my ex's gf, I think about him meeting her in a bar. Bars = fun I suppose so the girl must be fun. She must have something so great about her that he just up and left me so soon after meeting her.

I have never been to a bar. My friends invite me all the time but I just don't see myself enjoying it. For one, I don't drink. Two, I don't like being around drinking/drunk people. Three, I can't stand smoke. Four, I dislike loud music unless it is an outdoor concert. Five, all my friends are prettier than me so I would totally look like the loser of the group.

I am trendy, I dress nice and "cutesy". I love dressing up and going out...to the bookstore. I'm the cute, nerdy girl I guess you could say. I don't follow sports but I like going to sporting events...just the competitive atmosphere that attracts me I guess. I love being outside. Camping, hiking, bike riding, skate boarding lol, basically I am a guy in a female body with awesome style.

I will always compare myself to others. I think it is just human nature to do so.

Although, I am slowly learning to love me for me and that is all that matters right now.

Coffee Shop

I found some thought provoking questions here that I want to answer each week. First one up is -

When was the last time you tried something new?

Yesterday! I got off work a little early and went to a coffee shop to just sit for a while and people watch before picking up my daughter from daycare. I have never went and sat down somewhere like that to eat/drink alone. It was nice to just sit down and let my mind wander over a cup of coffee. A cup of coffee that I didn't drink haha. I still don't like coffee since the last time I tried it, which was forever ago. Love the smell, but not the taste!

I have no idea what possessed me to do this, but I enjoyed it. I rarely get off work early without having my second job to go to so it most likely won't be happening again anytime soon.
