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 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*
