A healthy dose of EGO

What are 3 traits I love about yourself? describe them in detail.

That’s like the biggest ego massage of a question, what happens if you don’t love yourself, have no redeeming qualities and generally suck? … self-esteem issues, me? No. Of course not.

Kindness
I will find all ways of pleasing someone in as much capacity as possible. Whether it’s giving something back to the homeless or picking up sweets randomly for the kids. Apparently, I do this to a fault. People become accustomed to this treatment and I end up not enjoying it any more which sucks. But before that, it makes me insanely happy to see someone else being happy because of my small gesture. Skin-tingly nice feelings.

Loyalty
From keeping a secret about a boy you like or that suspicious new flower bed in the garden. You can count on me to keep you loyal. I don’t think I have ever jumped ship on anyone and pretty much all my friends will have me fighting in their corners Hell I spent three years of uni looking after my drunken breather and got them home safe each night. Do you want to take on an army? O’ll be stood side by side with you facing impossible odds. Whatever it takes.

Is It bad that I can only think of two traits? The rest in my mind are terrible when I think about them. Negative traits I could talk about in another post.

Short Story: About happiness

The sun was shining brightly as I walked down the street, feeling happier than I had in a long time. I had just gotten a promotion at work, and I was finally going to be able to afford my dream car. I was so excited that I could barely contain myself.

I decided to go for a walk to clear my head and celebrate. As I walked, I thought about all the things that were making me happy. I had a great job, a loving family, and a few close friends. I was healthy and had everything I needed.

I stopped to sit on a bench and take in the view. The park was full of people enjoying the beautiful day. There were couples walking hand-in-hand, children playing on the swings, and dogs running around. I smiled as I watched them all.

I realized that happiness is all around us. It’s in the simple things, like a sunny day or a warm hug. It’s in the people we love and the things we’re passionate about. It’s in the moments that make us feel alive.

I took a deep breath and savored the feeling of happiness. I knew that this was just one of many highs that I would experience in my life. And I couldn’t wait to see what the future held.
