No more self-deprecating remarks.
I do this far too often. I don't know why it happens. Perhaps it stems from a fear that the world will find me a conceited snob? And, while I do believe that this is a genuine reason, I also believe that many of us are self-deprecating to a fault.
Why are we so concerned about how others perceive us? I have a bunch of fabulous friends (not to mention family!) that are probably going to be stickin' around for a while. They all accept me regardless of my faults. So, why not be content and be as much of myself as I can?
So, no more, "Yeah... Isn't it sad how much I like Star Wars even though I'm a girl...." For God's sake! I love Star Wars! As a matter of fact, I freely admit that I am an avid lover of the fantasy holy trinity: Star Wars, Lord of The Rings, and Harry Potter. And, I will not say it as though I think it's a bad thing. (This sci-fi t-shirt is hilarious and I want it soooo badly.)
From now on, I'm going to do my utmost to avoid tainting my words and attempting to appear a particular way. Nope. I'm just going to state the facts-- pure and simple.
In honor of the new year here is one of my favorite new-year-scenes (which will probably make absolutely no sense to anyone who hasn't seen this movie, one of my all-time-favorites: Out of Africa):
you need to read the meryl streep article in that vanity fair we (you) bought. it's basically meryl streep talking about how she decided to not make/have depricating thoughts about herself a long time ago and how that's made her who she is.
