CELESTE GIVES UP

Life has thrown some interesting experiences my way this weekend, and I’ve consequently slacked on posting here.

Celeste Gives Up Mini Challenge 8: Lose the negativity

Get ready for a bragfest. Sorry, everyone needs some self love every once and a while.

1. I’m independent and driven. Once I commit to something, I’ll be damned if I don’t follow through. And successfully, at that.
2. I’d call myself a Renaissance woman. Whether in school, athletics or life, I generally can pick up any skill. In high school, I really wanted to go to college for chemistry and mathematics. I ended up doing journalism and Italian. I’m thankful that my interests are broad and I can back them up.
3. Thanks to my mom, I’m generous. I grew up in a very giving family, and I want to share that generosity with the people I love. I always look out for Josiah, my friends and my students, and try to brighten their days with compliments, baked goods, hugs, etc.
4. I’m tall, and I wouldn’t have it any other way (except maybe an inch taller ha).
5. Over the years, I’ve transformed from angsty emo teen to hella cynical college student to still mildly cynical, but sometimes optimistic sass and a half. I’ve grown to speak my mind and care less about what other people think. Luckily, I still have tact, so my words have bitten me in the ass (yet). I used to be way too worried about how people perceived me (my appearance and my personality). Now, I love who I am and ignore other people’s negativity. Life is much better this way.
