day fifteen

day fifteen: list ten things that make you awesome.

1. I sing and play guitar. Which, you know, is pretty cool I think. 
2. I am a fangirl, which you will either think is fantastic or weird. So. I think it's great. 
3. I am Mormon! Which I think is super, super cool. 
4. I'm really funny sometimes. Or maybe it's all in my head. But people have been known to laugh when they're with me. 
5. I'm an awkward person, and I am proud of it! If that doesn't make me awesome, I don't know what will! (I have a shirt that says, "Hi, I'm awkward." And I wear it. In public.) 
6. I feel things strongly. It comes with the artistic personality deal. It can be super awesome, or super hard. But generally I think awesome. To feel is an experience, and I just happen to have a lot of it. 
7. I love to read. (i.e. I'm really just a nerd. And this is what John Green has to say about nerds. “…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.” He also has a quote about how nerd girls are the most underutilized romantic resource. All of which is awesome.) 
8. I love to travel! Hopeless wanderer. Restless heart. You know. All of the things that make me sound like I'd be awful in a relationship. But I'd actually be fantastic. Which has nothing to do with traveling. 
9. I love to laugh! Obviously if a person loves to laugh they're awesome. But I'm also really self-conscious about my laugh. So it's a bit of a problem. 
10. I know who I am as a person! And that is seriously the thing that makes one the absolute most awesome. Because it's a long and difficult journey. And I'm sure I'll obviously grow as a person, so the journey is never really over. But for now, I know who I am, and I am PROUD of who I am. And it's awesome. 

Sorry I got off on little rambles. That's just how I do it. I can't control myself.
