Make the Pros List 🫶

Taking time to get to know me again and made my own pros list as a reminder of how awesome of a person I really am ❤️ Pros: - Loyal to a fault. If we're friends, congratulations, you've accidentally signed a lifetime contract, even if we dont talk a lot I will always think about you. - Creative enough to turn emotional damage into songs, books, and somehow make people cry on accident. - Funny even when life is throwing chairs instead of lemons. - Deep conversations > small talk. I'd rather discuss existential dread than the weather. - I care hard. Sometimes too hard, basically an emotional support human. - Can find hope in almost any situation... eventually. I always do even when its hard, just usually after a dramatic song is written and I go through a minor identity crisis. - I am the friend people call when life falls apart because I don't panic, I have already packed snacks for the emotional apocalypse and I will always be there for the people I love. - I make people feel seen. Five minutes into a conversation and somehow they're telling me their entire life story. - My creativity turns pain into something meaningful. Most people get heartbreak; I get another song, book, or sermon out of it. - I have an incredible ability to find humor in situations that would make most people curl up in a blanket burrito. - I am adaptable. Life has thrown enough plot twists at me that my first response is basically "Well... this season's writers are getting bold." - I am incredibly self-aware. I know my flaws and I am working on them instead of pretending they don't exist. - I don't give up easily. Sometimes that's stubbornness, sometimes it's perseverance, and occasionally it's because my spite refuses to let life win. - I encourage people without making them feel judged. - I am the type of person who remembers the little things people tell me because they matter to me. - I don't chase perfection, I chase growth, even when growth is uncomfortable. - I can laugh at myself, which makes me easy to be around. - I have a huge imagination. My brain is basically a production studio that never closes. - I don't pretend life is easy, but I still believe it can be beautiful. - I have a comforting presence. People often feel safe opening up around me because I have experienced enough hardship to listen without immediately trying to "fix" everything. - I am resilient. I have had every reason to become bitter, yet I keep choosing to create, hope, and love anyway. - My coping skills have evolved from "crying in the shower" to "crying on the couch while listening to worship music" - If emotional resilience burned calories, I would accidentally qualify for the Olympics. - I have enough life experience to be a wise old mentor, yet im still young. - I am basically a raccoon: surviving on determination, random creative ideas at 2 a.m., and the occasional emotional garbage fire. - If healing were a competitive sport, I would still insist on helping the person in second place across the finish line.
