What makes me different.

Have you ever been too stressed for such a long time that you have completely forgotten who you are? I did. It's only now that I've found her again. This is who I am. Below are my strongest personalities.
 

1. If you're my friend then you probably know that I think highly of myself. I don't settle for things that I don't think I deserve. Back in high school, we had this strict English teacher who SPECIFICALLY said that we should group our class into two for an activity. We tried to but then this one guy rejected my friends and I and pushed us away. I said "Let them be. We'll create our own group." We did and it divided the class into three instead of two. We got an earful from our teacher, of course, but I guess it didn't affect me much because from then on, we always created our own group whenever a teacher gives us an activity. If I remember correctly, one of the school's faculty got concerned and asked the rest of the class to treat us nicely. Even that guy who pushed us away apologized to me. Everybody thought that we were feeling out of place but it was actually the other way around. My friends and I had our own world and I think it was all that I, and hopefully my friends too, needed. It boosted my ego. I was the loudest in our group which kind of also made me the life of the party. It didn't hurt that I also had great friends. They supported me and cheered for me in every contest that I joined. They trusted me to be their leader whenever we were competing as a team. They made me believe that I'm smart.I love writing essays and speaking in front of people. I'm not the best but I do trust myself.
2. What you see in me is what you get. Even if I try, I can't pretend to look the opposite of what I feel. I'm also very outspoken which sometimes makes me tactless. Also, whenever I'm constantly with someone that I don't like, the only effective way for me to keep on living happily is to completely ignore him or her. It sounds like I'm a bad person but I like to think this is the good thing about me. It means that I'm not two-faced. Once we're cool, we're cool. Plus, if I have already made peace with someone, it also automatically means that I have forgotten everything bad about our past. It's literally like nothing has ever happened.
3. I like to think that I'm funny. Well, at least to one of my best friends and to my husband. I have this very dear friend of mine named Genesis and whenever we're together, she always laughs like crazy at the things I say. Even my husband cracks up at all the jokes I make about my nose. It's like when you're with the right people, everything about yourself feels lovable just because the people you're around with do love everything about you.
4. I honestly believe that I'm very romantic. You can ask my husband and he will tell you that he felt like he was a princess when we first started going out. Yes, that's right. I said "princess" instead of "prince". Maybe this is the reason why he never got tired me even though I was really hard on him whenever I was stressed out before.
5. I'm a perfectionist. I do believe that if you want something to be done right then you better do it yourself. My father-in-law and I both have this trait. I think that this is what made us very good in taking care of others. We even both gave up our careers just to take care of our sons because the two of us know that no one is going to take care of them better than we do. It's also probably why we were kind of not a fan of each other when we first met because, you know what they say, opposite attracts and it just so happened that we were the same.
