MEME: self image
Jan. 31st, 2007 02:12 pmI really need this today:
Pinched from
celticmoons and
blueeyedtigress:
We're conditioned, particularly as women, to be self-deprecating, to not take up space, to not revel in our bodies and ourselves. We can get 150 comments in a thread about when we realized that we were aware our bodies weren't up to snuff; let's see how many we can generate praising ourselves.
Your mission: list at least five things you love about your body and yourself. Five is the floor; you can always do more. And no self-deprecation! No offsetting a compliment with a dig. (Guys welcome too.)
My body is curvy and interesting.
I like my dark brown fine hair.
My eyes are always a mysterious color (blue, gray, green)!
I'm intelligent.
I'm a good problem solver.
I'm a loyal friend.
