Blatant request

So this isn’t a meme running around, just me having a really hard day/week etc.

Tell me something you like about me. Can be small or big. I hate feeling so completely unlikeable.

    You are intelligent, motivated, and kind. You let yourself feel passionately, which in general is a wonderful thing but it also means that you are easily hurt. You live life, drenching yourself in experiences rather than merely wading into the shallows. You love. You think. You share joy. You are honest and candid.

    You’re likable.

    I like how bounce and unruly your hair is… I like your adventurous approach to sex (obviously not with me but I like hearing you talk about it)… I like how you’re not afraid to speak your mind when you think it is important, even if you know the message won’t be well recieved. I like your fashion sense (especially when it comes to fetish fashions).

    You have such poise and grace. Your hair is georgeous and fun to play with.

    and now on to you.

    You are honest. You own who you are. You are a strong, smart, sexy, big brained woman.

    I was happy to have my children meet you.

    You’re smart. You’re pretty. You don’t just “know yourself”, but you’re working to improve yourself where you see things you don’t like.

    I respect your opinions. You have thought through a great many important questions. You are self-aware, insightful, mature, generous, open, and extremely ethical. Many people are ethical in thoery–you have had enough shit thrown at you in your life that your values have gotten a lot of field experience. You walk your talk. You deserve respect.

    For the record, it makes sense to me that his family would not figure all this out about you in the course of a week. If they have experienced your candor, but have not yet had much time to observe the way you live your life, then they have a very small subset of the relevant data about you.

    I agree with Puppy: who you are is amazing, and will command respect with anyone who is worth knowing. Your tenderness, childlike excitement, broadly ranging intellect, reliability, work ethic, and sensitivity, which are all as much a part of you as the quick tongue, will be apparent to anyone who is paying attention.

    You and Puppy both are handicapped by being perceived in the category of The Children. I’ve seen it happen many times that older relatives have a hard time treating the next generation as adults. This is due in part to the habit of protectiveness and directiveness. But it’s also due to the frightening shift that’s necessary in the self-image of the elders–if they are not the Parents or the Elders, who are they? Their sense of value is tied up in a set of responsibilities that have grown obsolete. It takes them a while to figure out what to do with that.

    It gets better as the next generation gets jobs, has kids, and all that. At some point “Children” become perceived more as “Peers.” I’m not saying that makes what’s happening now OK, just trying to present a possible reason to hope.

    I hope you are feeling better. Take care.

    You are utterly unapologetic about whom you love, whether or not it’s the popular choice to make.

    And I missed you terribly at the DHP.

    You are what you are, and you’re not changing that for anybody.

    And I *still* like your hips, whether you do or not 😛

    You are cute, energetic, and bouncy. You are smart, funny, and observant. You are bold, strong, and able to ask for help when you need it.

    I like so many things about you..

    I like that you know what family means, and that you choose to be a part of my family. I like that you’re willing to give your all for things that you want. I like that I can make you smile. I like how honest you are, and how kind you are with that honesty. I like that you don’t make fun of my weirdnesses, and are willing to share some of your own. I like *you*.

    Rather than letting your life experiences make you heard-hearted and bitter, you have become open-minded and open-hearted. I respect your wisdom even more than I respect your cooking, and what food you’ve made me has been outstanding.

    Your smile

    Is so genuine and warm that is evokes one from me, no matter what my mood is. The way your eyes twinkle and shine make me laugh inside all over. I will do amazing and embarrassing things just to see your smile. And I don’t embarrass myself for hardly anyone…

    You find delight in living. You are beautiful, smart, and strong. Your strength comes through in much of your life. You have much to come back to upon your return home.

    Hugs and thoughts of you.
