Time for some healthy self-boosterism.
I’m kind of awesome. I’m an amazing guy. I have never met anyone else quite like me, and for once, that’s a good thing.
I have never met anyone as charming, cute, funny, and ghosh darn smart as I am. I make people happy wherever I go. I put out a strong positive vibe even when I am not feeling at all positive myself, and that makes the world a better place wherever I go, both online and off.
There is nobody else like me out there. I am one of a kind. I am an electric neon go-go dancing ball of fun and everyone who knows me benefits from my glow, my warmth, and my sweet, sweet sunshine.
The fact that all that sunshine comes from a place of terrible cold and darkness only makes it all the more amazing.
Sometimes, we put out the vibes we want back but can’t give to ourselves, so we have to bounce them off others first.
Seems complicated, I know, but it kind of works.
I am also uniquely intelligent. I have never met someone who sees things the way I do. I have an original and potent way of seeing the world that makes patterns clear to me that elude others for their whole lives. I have a fuller, richer, and more complete understanding of the world than anyone I have ever met.
Even the greatest thinkers seem small-minded and limited to me.
I’m also extremely creative and highly talented. Things I write have a life of their own because I write from a place of inspiration and emotional truth. I don’t force a predetermined form on my writing. I let it grow and flow organically, and to my mind, that gets better results.
I could never be the sort of writer who starts with an outline then builds that up and builds that up into larger and larger pieces until it’s the full thing, complete and perfect.
The very idea makes me shudder. How dreadfully dull that would be! I am sure it works wonderfully for others. I can certainly see the beauty and power of it as a technique.
But that’s not for me. For better and for worse. I write by the seat of my pants because that’s what keeps me excited and motivated. It is the act of creation that I enjoy.
Refining and perfecting are a necessary evil to me.
In addition, I am a really sweet guy. I genuinely feel for people and truly want people to be happy and to do well. It saddens me when people suffer and in many ways I feel their pain.
If I could. I would give the whole world a great big hug and tell it everything will be okay and sit and listens to its problems and do my best to understand it all.
A lot of people just need someone to listen to them. I would love to be that person. Someone who listens, and understands, and validates.
So, life happened. Oh well. Let the self-hagiography continue!
Let’s see, what other stellar qualities do I possess? Well I am a very tolerant and understanding person. I have a deep understanding of what it means to be human and how difficult a thing it can be to be the monkey with just enough brains to make life hard on itself. And this understanding guides me in seeing what truly matters about a person and disregarding the sort of superficial and arbitrary nonsense other people get hung up on.
So I understand and embrace all kinds of human strangeness. And I am gentle in my judgment of others. I often find myself in the position of trying to reassure people that I don’t judge them nearly as harshly as they judge themselves and I do my best to extend understanding and compassion to those who need it.
Hmmm. That comes off a little too clinical and cosmic. Oh well.
My point is that I am a sweetly non-judgmental dude and I consider that to be one of my better qualities.
And I genuinely love making other people happy. Call it selfish empathy : I love feeling other people’s happiness, especially when I know I am the source. That way, I both feel good from the reflected happiness and feel good because I feel like I am doing good.
I can’t think of anything I would enjoy more. If I had my way, I would do nothing but make people happy all day. That would be my paradise.
What else. Well, I am playful and I don’t take myself too seriously. I love being downright silly and goofing around with friends. I especially like using my verbal skills to have fun with words and ideas.
Oh right. I also have amazingly powerful verbal skills. I wield words like a wizard wields spells. I word make very good plus.
At the same time, I am completely comfortable with numbers. Thats never been an either/or thing for me at all. I always did just as well in algebra as I did in English and as well in Physics as I did in Social Studies.
Perhaps you have to have a certain kind of overflowing and powerful mind in order to not feel the need to simplify things by picking a side.
Or maybe I am just to socially isolated that I never had the slightest notion that it was possible (or desirable) to pick a side and stick with it.
Which means I am also very fair minded. My point of view is highly objective and I can exercise clear and balanced judgment in situations where most people would lose their heads.
In summation, I am one heck of a guy. Almost magical, really.
And that’s all I have to say about myself today.
Remember, this was not an ego trip, it was me trying to remind myself that I have a lot of great qualities.
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
