after months of half-believing : today i came to the complete conclusion that i love myself.

A complete conclusion... good. You have every reason to.

some of the reason's why:

Oh, and here they are...

i am creative.

Indeed. I agree 1000%. No, I meant a hundred percent, but I accidentally added an extraneous zero. Sorry.

i am compassionate.

I know you are, and I know you very little.

i am loving.

You seem to be.

i am beautiful.

You make me want to shave my head - but that would put shame to every accidentally or willingly bald person around.

i am trustworthy.

I may bank on this someday.

i am joyful.

As in full of joy?

i am loyal.

Like a damn puppy dog.

i am truthful.

Like a damn puppy dog.

i am forgiving.

I am running out of shit to say, asshole. Oh, sorry...

i am wise.

I believe it.

i am thoughtful.

Groovy!

i am considerate.

Yes.

i am thankful.

Say your prayers every night? Full of thanks?

i am grateful.

Umm... full of grate?

i am trusting.

No you aren't. Trust me.

i am incredible.

I read that last line too quick and thought it said invisible. No, you're incredible.

i am transcending.

I'm out of shit to say. But, um, cool!

i am sending this to everyone i have an email address for. i don't know why i felt inspired to do such a thing but i am of the sort lately that believes in following inspiration - to whatever end. maybe you'll send a response back to me using the same sort of format as i did but pertaining to who you are - the reasons why you love yourself. maybe you'll send it back to me with a totally new and incredible twist but still including the original intent. changing it into something i never would have imagined and therefore amazing me with your creativity and original natures. or maybe you'll ignore it with the highest understanding that it is not for you. either way.

I loved myself once. Felt so good, I loved myself twice.

with love and affection,

amber.
