1. I may wear the coveted size 2 but I walk around with years of body issues. I inherited my mother's lightning fast metabolism and her childhood teasing of being a skinny girl. I have moments where I've made peace with my body, but other times I am still sensitive to people's rude comments about my figure.
2. Yes, I am in fact of Hispanic descent. Yes, I speak fluent Spanish. I'm also overly aware that I don't look like what apparently a Hispanic is supposed to look like. I wish people knew it hurts to hear things like "I don't consider you Hispanic" or "You don't look Hispanic enough".
3. If you are a good friend to me I am incredibly loyal. I haven't always had that loyalty repaid to me in the past and it hurts to learn someone doesn't value your friendship.
4. I don't plan to have kids and yet I don't hate kids. People sometimes wrongly assume that because I am choosing not to have children that I must dislike them.
5. Just because I majored in English and taught it for six years does not mean I am correcting everyone's grammar or am a human dictionary.
6. I am an introvert by nature and it takes me a little while to warm up to people. But once I feel comfortable around someone I am quite chatty.
7. I am a self-diagnosed Highly Sensitive person (HSP) and diagnosed myself after reading the book.
8. I always knew that I wanted to move out of my hometown, but that doesn't mean I look down on those who stayed put.
9. Wounds run deep with me. I tend to feel things deeply.
10. When I asked my husband that he wishes people knew about me he said, "How witty and off the cuff funny you can be."
I WISH i could speak spanish! That is awesome. Who cares if you don't look like you should; it's pretty cool that you do. We aren't having kids and I don't hate kids either. I just don't want one of my own!!
ReplyDeleteAww that is so sweet what your husband added! I only like certain kids :) Do you want to be added to my Childfree list?
