That's the best way I
can describe myself, and I'm not even saying that to be funny. But those who
know me know I fall right into line with that word and being a Scorpio. That's
the beauty within it all; I know how to keep my own personal life quiet while
still being able to draw people in with my magnetic personality. And if you
haven't gathered from the first couple of lines of this post, I'm definitely
going to go above and beyond the descriptions for me are. Sike I'm just kidding,
I'm not too into the self-gratification, I'm more so about the people I care
about and the way they get better in life. I don't know if that's a nurturer or
what, I just know that I care about people, sometimes to a fault. But that's
just me though, I've learned to accept that and reject that at the same time.
It's all about growth and learning these days for me, I know I'm probably a late
bloomer in terms of doing things for myself and no one else, but I figure that
it's better now than never.
For the most part I
know that I'm glad to be able to just be me and have fun where ever I'm at. I
just know I like to make people laugh and what not. I don't know what to really
say in this post, I got the idea from a blog post generator a few months back
and never really gave it too much thought until I decided to clean out my draft
folder a little. I mean I try to do the best that I can, and I know sometimes
things get in the way of that, but at the end of the day, I know I'm top five
based off the fact that I try for others and not really for myself. I don't know
too many people who like to legit travel and see the world and different
attractions. I mean there's a whole laundry list of things people don't know
about me, that most probably won't ever know, that I could put out, but I won't
because there's not enough time in the day for me to type it up. I know the main
question from the post generator for this topic happened to be:
"If you died
today, what do you want to be remembered for?"
That's not really a
hard question for me as it would be for some folks. I simply want to be
remembered for being Devon, and nothing more. When people talk about me, I don't
want them to be able to describe me, because too able to describe me is to do me
no kind of justice. I mean I'm not too interested in being put into a little box
for people to judge and classify at their will, no I want them to have to think
and debate all of the ways I made them feel. I know in there it's going to be
happy, annoying, anger, agitated, care free, humble, at peace, so many things I
do for people on just an emotional level. And that's how I live life, I know
what it's like to be sad, to be angry, alone, bitter, not having someone to talk
to, and it sucks. Why would I want other people to feel that way about their own
life if I can help prevent it just a little?
Would I change
anything about me? Sure I would, that's normal for a person to say yes to, and
if they don't, then they're lying. Do I go out trying to be the most perfect
person ever, not at all, that's impossible. I go out with the intentions of
being me and learning something cool every day, that's what I want to be
remembered for when it's my time to go, and hopefully my words will live on
forever in the form of my writings. Writing this actually made me realize how
dope of a person I am when I think back on situations and people that I've come
across. So with that being said, live your life to the fullest you can for you
and all good things will come in due time.
Until next time.
Love this! My motto, "You only get one life...so get out there and FIGHT for it!" Sounds like you do this every day. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Nikki for that quote and the only thing you can do is be yourself and try. I don't like operating outside certain limitations and I like exceeding some. Every single day is a fight but I'm here for it!
DeleteIt's always great to know yourself. I always say that you have to love yourself before others can, and part of that is knowing who you really are, recognizing and praising yourself for your good qualities, and identifying and accepting the not so great qualities.
ReplyDeleteExactly Tiffany, I couldn't have said it better. I focused a lot on my bad qualities for a long time, then I just realized one day that they didn't make me who I was and I was getting away from my happiness. Once I did that, I was back on track and more and more people seem to gravitate towards me. Loving yourself is definitely the best thing you can do in life.
