if you haven't seen it already, you should yesterday's prompt, and try it out for yourself! now, today's prompt is: what 5 things do you love about yourself?

1. i love my creativity. my creativity has been helpful in both personal and school projects. i always liked adding just a little ✨extra✨ to my school assignments. it's much more enjoyable that way. plus, if you're gonna do it, do it with a little flair. as for my personal projects, creativity is what fuels them, of course. whether it be a photoshoot concept to try with my sister, a song i'm writing, poems i come up with, or a piece i'm drawing, creativity is what starts and carries those endeavors. it's apart of my essence. it doubles as a problem solver too when things get tricky 😉

2. i love my passion for music. does that count..? kinda. well, i love music. finding music, making covers, just the feeling it gives. it's still a goal of mine to make music that people can listen to and feel that they have someone that gets them when they're missing that in life.

3. i love my hands. i know that sounds odd, but i have pretty hands 😂 i was blessed with slender, long fingers & very strong nails that look purty when they're long 💅🏻

4. i love my big heart. though i may look a bit mean (and sometimes scary), i'm really a softie. i care a whole lot for people whether or not i receive that care back, which can be a pain sometimes, but it's something i still do regardless. it's very hard to change that, and i don't think i have to. i think caring is so important in a time of "spin," as dave chappelle says. things past by us too quickly. technology connects us faster and easier than when we are sitting face to face. it is easy to be emotionless. so, as long as i protect myself as much as i can, i think there's a lot of love to share.

5. last thing i love about myself is my willingness to grow and reflect. it is a challenge to unpack pain. it is a challenge to sit & be honest with what you're not good at or what you could be doing better. nobody wants to do it, but it has to be done. i think i am rather honest with myself (sometimes too honest 😅). i know my weaknesses as a person, a partner, and a worker, and because of that i am able to at least try to grow. my curiosity is something that helps me in this as well. i always want to learn more about people, social issues, other countries, etc. i like to learn. i don't research as much as i should, but i will say i love that i try. i will always try to learn more about this vast world and its many stories.

there many days when i wake up, and i dislike everything about me. there's always something to pick at. "my dark circles are awful," "my voice is not sounding great today," "i'm not where i want to be," etc. there is always something, but i think that i have to learn how to be present and how to love the little things about me, and eventually, i will love all things about me. i hope you try out these journal prompts for yourself. again, pretty please check out yesterday's as well 🥺 comment below something you love about yourself 🤍 see ya tomorrow!
