Everyone always talks about the things they hate about themselves, what is something you love about yourself, that you would never change?

I love my curly hair, little short toes, and i'm generous.
Thanks for this!

I appreciate the compassion I have towards others, and my strong ethics, although having strong ethics can be difficult sometimes when I find things are not being held up to high standards. It's a strength as much as it is a weakness.

I also appreciate my gift of my voice; I'm a singer.

You sound very sweet and giving. A beautiful voice is a rare gift. I wish I could sing, I mean, I can, but it wouldnt sound very good.

I love my sense of humor too. It's definatley one of a kind. People tell me i'm so funny and I always make them laugh. Sometimes I think it's a front, and I use it to hide what i'm really feeling.

My artistic side. I like to use photography, wood, music (I too am a vocalist), cooking, writing, just about anything I can do to process the intensity of emotions my unique mental make up fills me with. I also am grateful for my curiosity of the nature of the human mind. I am funny when I let myself be me, but I find I am almost always trying to be taken seriously so I can't be ridiculed, so rarely cut loose. I think this is a good question to ask of people by the way. Too many times we dwell on out "short comings" and not enough on what is good about us.

My eyes and my cussedness. Probably also my empathy, though that is a two edged sword that together with the cussedness has gotten me into more grief than I can say.

Well what an interesting thread!

In this frantic-paced world, I love that I value quiet and calm.
I love my curiosity and willingness to learn new things every day.
Thanks for this!

I agree this is a nice thread Jambi. I would never change my loyalty, caring for others, eyes, smile, weight and my 2 beautiful girls.

I don't know if I have anything I wouldn't want to change about myself. I guess if I had to pick something it would be my willingness to comfort people and not sleep till they feel better.

Hey...

Thanks for that.

Don't confuse being able to sing on key with being able to sing. Your voice is your voice and there is no one voice that has the same depth, resonance, or sound. Be proud of your voice and let yourself open up and allow the music to just come. So what if it's off key. If you allow yourself to really let your voice speak for your soul through music, it will be beautiful no matter what notes you hit.

I'm really open to
change. As much
as I like who I am
and where I'm from
if there's improvement
to be made ... I'm for it!

I would never want to lose my compassion and sensitivity towards animals. I also know that I'm a very emotional person (I've often been compared to the character 'Lucy' from 7th Heaven). sometimes it seems like a curse to always being so emotional but I can't imagine being 'me' without my wacky emotions ranging from crying at a sweet scene in a movie to being upset if a loved one hasn't called me back or being really giddy everytime I think of Robert Pattison (Edward from Twilight )

I also would never give up my passion for writing

I wouldn't change that I am fiercely loyal to my husband. And like Elysium, I can sing too.

My sense of humour, sometimes it's all that keeps me going. The fact that I can play the harp. The fact that I'm willing to keep trying and starting over every time I fail, instead of giving up, my intellect, and my sense of compassion.

Oh and I make a really awesome spanikopita.

One thing I would never change about myself is my first love, Jesus Christ.
