Time to check in with ‘5 Things’. This week I am sharing;
I think it is human nature to think about how our lives may be different if we had different characteristics. If we were braver or more confident, what opportunities could we grab with both hands. Does our personality hold us back?
So what do I wish I wasn’t?
- Messy – I long for a house that Kim and Aggie would be proud of. Alas, I do not have such a house and rather than proud, I think they would be somewhat disinterested in our abode. I want clutter free, shiny surfaces. What I have is LOTS of stuff and clutter mountains everywhere. I will just have to resign myself to looking at clutter free homes on Pinterest.
- Lacking in Confidence – I totally believe that there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. I would never want to be thought of as someone who blows their own trumpet. However, I do know how important confidence is and I would like more of it! I want to feel confident, without worrying about whether others will consider me to be big-headed. Something which I could never be.
- As sensitive – I am a sensitive soul. Negativity cuts me deeply and scars me for a long time. I wish I wasn’t as affected by the words and actions of others.
- Overweight – Well what can I say, having spent most of my life as an overweight person, I would love to experience life as someone who isn’t overweight and who isn’t held back by their size. Hopefully, this year I will get my wish.
- As loyal a friend – If I wrote a list of my favourite characteristics about myself, this would probably be on there too. Strange how our strengths can also be our flaws. Being a loyal friend, means I invest so much of myself into relationships. I would literally do anything for my close friends. This has, on occasion, left me feeling let down by people, especially since Baby was born.
Is there anything you wish you weren’t?
