Appreciating Myself

A reply to Jimmy Doom’s 250 word challenge

Selfie by Chris Hedges (author)

Jimmy Doom threw down the gauntlet and asked us to write 250 words about what we appreciate about ourselves.

When I was younger, I didn’t appreciate myself as much as I do now. I always worried when I was a teenager that I was too feminine. Now, that I’m more experienced and comfortable with myself, I enjoy my femme side. It’s my super power that took me a while to figure out I had.

I was nervous and anxious when I was a teen and in my college years. I grew out of it as I got older and realized people are pretty cool. I appreciate that I’ve been able to push through challenges, despite fear, to grow and develop into my best self.

The same is true now that I’m transitioning. I had some moments when I wondered what would happen. Instead of fear, I decided to embrace my journey and have fun. I am glad that I did.

I appreciate that I can have fun in my life, enjoy the journey and just be happy where ever I am without worrying about keeping up with others. I appreciate learning to love myself. And, I appreciate all the great people I’ve met along the way who have helped me to grow into the person I am and am becoming.

I love all of you so much and am glad you are reading this.

I pass the challenge along to Gurpreet Dhariwal, Kira Dawn, Simran Kankas and NaNa'sworld to join in on Jimmy’s challenge:
