Tell Me Why Do You Love Yourself and What Makes You Special

[Thibideau]

I appreciate this thread so thank you Jay.

I find it difficult to answer this though. It's not that I don't have things I like about myself. It's just hard to put them into words and convey uderstanding. But here goes anyways.

I overcame depression which was no small task. I still struggle with it daily but I'm managing(Without medication either!). So I love my Perseverance.

I overcame my excessive weight. Coming out of college I was 235 pounds and I currently weigh 165 pounds. I lost some from having a very physically demanding job but the most of it was from changing my eating habits and exercise. I was determined to get back to where I was before depression took control of my life.

I have a mentally delayed sister who is 10 years older then me. So when most kids were playing with GI Joes I was learning what to do when she had a seizure. It made me fairly mature for my age growing up and also inspired a great deal of compassion and understanding for people in similar situations.

Also due in part to having to help take care of my sister, I was became very creative and imaginative.

I also like my laugh, and I wish I laughed more often. I have a very hardy laugh but I only hear it once in a blue moon.

That's all I got right now. I can't think of anything else wihout sort of forcing it.
