Snowflake Challenge Day Eight

Day 8

In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Surf the comments and find people to give love to.

I haven't been able to participate in the other challenges and this one is rather hard for me as well.

See, I don't like asking people to tell me why they like me, or if they think I'm good at what I do. I feel like it cheapens it somehow to ask for it instead of them giving the praise/love willingly. But I really need it right now because I feel like I totally suck at being a human being.

Hi,

I don't know you (yet?) so I can't really describe in detail how wonderful you are (though you totally are, I'm sure of it!).

I'm so sorry that you're in a bad place in life right now, and I hope things get better for you, and that you will feel more positive about yourself soon. *hugs*

Anyway, I figured that I'd use this love meme to spread positive vibes by sharing encouraging quotes because I believe that all of us have the potential to be amazing and awesome beyond our wildest dreams and worst fears. This is the quote I picked for you:

“Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. It’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

♥ Live out loud!

Thank you. Your words brought a tear to my eye.

Hi there. I'm here from the Snowflake Challenge.

A lot of people have had difficulty with this particular challenge, for pretty much the reason you say. But it's OK to want people to recognise you. So hello. Well done for taking part in this challenge - you're awesome.

Determination, energy, and courage appear spontaneously when we care deeply about something. We take risks that are unimaginable in any other context. - Margaret J. Wheatley

I know but I'm from the south where kids are seen and not heard and women certainly never ask someone to praise them. That just isn't done because it is selfish.

Plus, I see stories and art that have an author's note saying it's because Soandso was having a bad day. Well, I have tons of bad days and no one has ever done anything just to make me feel better, or to let me know they're thinking of me, and it makes me feel like I don't matter.

Well, I'm British, so it was kind of tough for me too - that famed British reserve and all... What matters is that you did it.

Oh, sweetie. Of course you matter. *HUGS*

Hi, we don't share fandoms so haven't run into each other prior to this challenge but well done for taking part, makes you pretty awesome in my book :)

*Hugs*

I'm catching up on posts from yesterday, and just wanted to say that I understand how you feel when you say that you think you suck at being a human being. But you still put this post up and put yourself out there, which is a pretty brave thing to do.

*hugs*
