Regardless of how many times I complain about myself, there are quite a few things I love about me. Physically, mentally, personality wise, there will always be at least a few things which I'll love about me, at any given time of my life.
Physically: I really do love my eyes, shape and color, my eyebrows and my lips. Although I could always be happier with a smaller nose, slimer cheeks and better teeth, one cannot have all of it or otherwise I'd be too perfect *dramatically flips hair... which is actually put up in a bun orz]. I love how thin my wrists and ankles are [although that's mostly a problem when it comes to shoes XD]. I love how I can rock almost any type of hair. Like I can wake up one day and be like... today I'm going to go all pink or... half pink half purple and my only concern would be 'should I make the left side purple, or the right side?'. I love how I do my make-up. Although I'm lacking skills and materials, I love how I look nice with a soft amount of make-up, very delicate and how I could rock extremely bold make-up without any damn problem.
Mentally: I love how I do really well with foreign languages and I love my passion for them. It doesn't even take me long until I'm able to learn common everyday phrases. Maybe just hear them once or twice. Grammar and a developed vocabulary does take a while longer, but with determination, I can easily achieve it. I also like how I'm analytical. I think rationally. Always trying to find the best option, the easiest way to solve a problem and so on. I guess that's thanks to math [which I was actually fairly good at in school and now I kinda miss it since I've got no math related subjects at uni]. I love my passion for reading and I love how I can't get out of a bookstore without at least one new book to read. I don't think my wallet is too happy about it but oh well XD. I love my love for English as well. Having spoken it since I was 5 [it's not my native language], I feel closer and more connected with English rather than Romanian. My vocabulary in English is better, I'm also more coherent in English. I love how I have the ability to switch from one language to the other in the middle of a sentence and it's even better when I'm talking to someone how understands all the languages I switch to. It's especially funny because you'd think it makes no sense but we have a whole dialogue like that and people around us are getting more and more confused through each language we [aka a friend and I] switch.
Personality: I love the way sarcasm is almost like my mother tongue. If you ask a stupid question, expect sarcasm from me. I love how it's so developed a lot of people have trouble knowing whether I'm sarcastic or not XD. I love my passion for dancing. I've loved dancing ever since I can remember and according to my mom, even before my first memories. I love the time I spent going to dance class and the times I participated in competitions. I loved all the rehearsal hours even if I'd come back home with bruised legs, swollen feet and full of blisters. And I also loved how my calfs looked like all worked out unf very pretty. Although it's a bother to keep still while on the sidewalk or in the metro, I love how I barely have the concentration not to burst into dance randomly while in public. It just reminds me of how much dancing means to me. I also love how the street is my catwalk once I have my earbuds in. Speaking of catwalk, I love my walk. Thanks to dancing my way of walking is really... sexy and with swaying hips and all XD. I love my patience. The patience I have doing my nails and making nailart making my neighbour [who's a manicurist wonder how the hell I did my nails and how I have that talent/patience] or when I make 3d origami figures. Some take less than an hour to do, some take days of constant work, but I can sit at my desk, folding for hours on end and make something beautiful. I love my sassy and witty self and I love it when others acknowledge it. I love how I can laugh about myself under any circumstances. I love how I'm a perfectionist and critical and won't be satisfied until the thing I'm making is perfect or as close to perfect as it can get. I love how picky I am with the people I call friends because those people I know are truly going to be my friends for a very long time and those few people I trust with my whole being because I know they'd never let me down. I love how I can rock clothes from the girlest things to the most grunge-ish or even gothic style almost effort less. It's in me to rock them clothes XD. I also love how random I am. And if I'm home alone and suddenly get really random, by the end of it I'm a laughing mess, laughing at my own self. I have a love-hate relationship with my strength. I love how I was strong enough to get over depression all by myself [because there was literally no one around me who even knew or suspected anything] and I love that I was strong enough to get over my ED and that I'm strong right now as well for not letting it return when I feel so wrong for eating something. So yeah... I love my strength and ability to get over things. I also love the fact that I've got a spine. And I don't mean literally but as in the fact that I will stend strong for my personal opinion. I won't waver or change my mind or my way of being for other or according to the way others think. I love my independence because I never felt the need to "belong" somewhere. I was always myself and this is what got me my lovely friends. I also love how I was raised to be open-minded and I became even more and more open minded with time, learning to accept anyone and everything, regardless of what seems 'normal' to me or not.
It's a lovely thing to do this and a wonderful idea. Putting my mind to it a little bit, I've discovered a lot of things which I love about myself and I could probably go on for a little while longer. While thinking of things I love, I found other things which I love about myself and it's a wonderful feeling to know that, no matter how many aspects you'd hate about yourself and no matter how down you're feeling sometimes, when you think about it clearly, on a good day, you'll discover so so many beautiful things about you which you love and which are worthy of loving.
Edit: HOLY SHIT THIS TURNED OUT WAY LONGER THAN EXPECTED o.O
