Understanding ME

For the past month, i have been on a challenge assigned by yours truly. The goal of this challenge is to have a better understanding of who i am. A lot of people say they know who they are but i think it takes years to have a full grasp of who you are as human being on this less than green earth. I have kept it simple. I kept a mental list of things i like and things i do not like. I think it is easier to start from there because how will you know what kind of person you are if you don't know what you like and what you don't like? So for the past month, i noted every time i really liked something and i also noted when i wasn't really a fan of something. Please be aware that my list of things i don't like will probably outweigh things i like. This doesn't mean i am pessimistic (much). Also, i will keep this list as honest as possible. I will not hold back if i don't feel the need to. SO without much further ado, i give you first, the things i like:

Things i like
*These are things that i LIKE. not maybe, not on some days, i LIKE them all the time.

1. my hair! I feel like i could talk about my hair for days. I never knew i could fall inlove with hair as much as i have. My hair is natural and has been this way for about a year and a few months. it is amazing how much more confidence one can gain from changing hair! the reason i changed my hair was to stop putting chemicals in it and i feel like my hair is thanking me. I loooveeee playing in my hair and i loooove when people (i like) want to play with it. I have received a plethora of compliments from people about my hair when i don't even do much to it. Not to mention the number of women who also want to go natural because they see my hair. i love it!

2. The sun. I noticed that when the sun is out, i am happier, more cheerful and my day is just good overall. I don't really mind a rainy day but i know i like the sun

3. sleep. anyone who knows me, knows how much i. love. sleep!!!!! i feel like i am able to escape from the world and its drama when i sleep. I feel rejuvenated and able to deal with things better after i sleep. I have started noticing that i am bringing the world (work, people etc) into my dreams and that is NOT good. But nonetheless, i love my sleep.

4. new things. i have always been one to like new things. This can range from new food, new places, new people....i just like new things. lol

5. My FB/Blackberry updates: If you are my friend on FB or BBM, you will notice that i update my status quite frequently. A lot of people like it, and many others don't. A couple of my friends have told me that i update it too much and that i put my shit out there a lot. To these people, i'm like how do you know what i put and what i don't put??? lol Nobody has to read my status updates. I put it there because i like to receive funny comments on them. If it bothers you so much, why are we FB friends? you can easily delete me on FB and i promise the world won't end.

6. making people happy: I guess you can call me a crowd pleaser. I love when people are around me are happy and i love it even more when that happiness can be attributed to me. I love to perform random acts of kindness because it makes me feel GOOD.

7. Texting. I have an obsession and it is clear. Idk how i lived without text messaging before but i know life was boring! I am obsessed with texting/bbming. Is there a textaholic anonymous?

8. Black men who know how to dress well. I take the train to work every week day and i have noticed how excited i get when i see a man who is very well put together lol. I realize that this man is probably on his way to work so he has to look nice but i love to see it! especially someone who isn't afraid to play with colors like purple, red, orange etc

9. i started baking recently and i love it.

10. I hate to admit it, but i actually don't mind Autumn. I thought i loved summer and only summer, but Fall is really growing on me. I like it because i get to dress up and wear my collection of boots and match it up with other clothes.

11. Attention: This is kinda tricky because i am by no means an attention whore. I am actually a loner and i don't seek attention but i like when it is given to me.....as with all the other women in the world lol

This list is lengthy! Part 2 is next...Things i don't like.

grammar? spelling errors?.....so?
