Last week I finally received Mari Andrew’s book (not sure to mark it as treasure or golden), Am I there yet? and it got me thinking a lot about myself. There’s a section where Mari listed the things that define her and I sat down with a pen and a notebook to collect all the stuff that makes me. Even though it was really harsh writing these things down, I guess it will help me grow and I’m pretty sure to turn this into a visualization eventually.
- signature curly/messy hair
- Chucks for all occasions
- a continuous urge to create
- affection for monkeys sticking with me from my childhood, symbolizing the love of my mom
- 505 by Arctic Monkeys
- OCD realized in only being able to drink from mugs/glasses that make a perfect fit for what I drink
- Manhattan by Woody Allen
- the inexplicable attachment to objects
- the utmost dread of pigeons
- the attitude to life Olive has in Little Miss Sunshine
- being able to fall madly in love with book characters
- feeling invincible when riding my bike
- being a maximalist and almost never feel complacent in life
- being rather picky than being a true vegetarian
- the lack of my grandma in my life and that she missed out on what I have become
- the fear that I will never be a ‘real’ adult and life is just passing me by rather than happening to me
