i just thought I'd start a conversation about self acceptance What does it mean to you/ What have you struggled with the most?
I'll start.
To me, self acceptance means feeling comfortable in your own skin and not let others opinions dictate who you are.
I've struggled the most with embracing my inner 'nerd' if you will.
I'm a bit of a philomath and I've always felt the need to push that aside and be the stereotypical girl- I tried to be into fashion and social gatherings and popular tv shows and **** but there's really so much more going on in the world than that.
I'd much rather be reading, writing, hanging out at a museum, or learning something new- ever since I've really accepted this about myself (which followed shortly after I decided to finally go back to school for my MA) I have the overwhelming need to know everything- I've been brushing up on my US and world geography and history (which i feel I should know anyway), broke out my Spanish Pimsleur Approach cd collection that's been untouched for years and more. Anyway, I'm rambling . . .
