I'm not an open person but...

I had a class in which we were told to write a letter to ourselves. What we had to write were all the things we loved about ourselves...and then things we wish we could change. You also had to put in how you could improve on the things you like and how you can change the things you want to. For most people this was pretty hard. Some people didn't really care, and just wrote down whatever to get it done. But this is what I wrote:

 

Dear Andrea,

     I love that you laugh at everything (mostly yourself), and you always try to look at the brighter side of life. I think it's great that all of your friends call you when they're going through a hard time and need some advice. You have a laid-backed personality and don't take anything too seriously. Ever wonder why people compliment your hair all the time? It's because you have great hair. Also, you have mad cooking skills. I love that you love to read and you can name every song that plays on the radio. You make friends easy, and never pass down a chance to have fun. You're spontaneous. I have no idea how you'd improve any of these other than, you should become a chef.

     Although these are all great, there are some things I'd like if you could change. I wish you weren't so vulnerable. You cry too easily, and why don't you let anyone help you when you're going through a bad time intead of blocking them out? You have the worst jealousy issues. You've never kept a promise to yourself, and you probably never will. I hate that you're so self-centerd and you have no trust. And why do you have to be so vain? What really gets me...you can never make up your mind. JUST MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND ALREADY. I'll never understand why you lie to everyone. And just because your source of strength ( or what strength you have anyway) comes from God, doesn't mean you take after him. Try smiling instead of crying.

 

P.S., Be yourself for once, just once...and then maybe

he'd love you back.

 

                                                                                                                         Just a suggestion,

                                                                                                                                     Love Andrea.

 

At the end of the class he informed us we didn't have to turn this in.
