I is PURDY
December 8 – Beautifully Different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different – you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful.
I thought about sending out a poll to my top 10 fans asking them what I do that "lights them up", but I decided that:
(1) I don't have top 10 fans, and
(2) that sounds a little creepy.
Firstly, I categorize myself as probably in the category of top 10 weird people I know. Then again, I think everyone has quirks, but I think others are better at masking those quirks which could be seen to the naked eye as faults. I, however, choose to flaunt them almost in defiance to those too scared to show their true selves, in order to ensure that people know they are getting the real me.
Why I am potentially weird. I mean different. Actually, I think the proper term used today is "challenged.":
- I can go to movies by myself. I have.
- I'll talk to strangers sitting by or around me about whatever I want. For the most part, I don't care what they think of me because I think everyone secretly wants to be friends with people around them, but are too scared to try.
- "If Cecilly doesn't have on at least 5 colors, she's chronically depressed," is something my mom says that describes my wardrobe style: all color. But also matching. Someone in my ward (a BOY, at that) told me, "You're always MATCHING. I love it!" I am pretty OCD about matching everything from socks, hair treats, shirts, overshirts, undershirts, jewelry, and sometimes... well.... nevermind! ha ha
- When in public, I am prone to make quirky sounds, give interesting (not to be confused with interestED, although I give those too) looks, and have odd mannerisms. I have an inability to care how people judge me. Really, I don't mind what they say because I know I'm pretty cool.... just sayin'. Cool like igloos. And those... they're pretty cool.
- I secretly love children's books. Oh my gosh do I love them.
- I think I kinda have an uncanny knack for putting a positive spin on things. Example: if it's butt freezing cold outside, I try not to comment on the weather or how cold it is. Instead, I say something like, "Man, I'm dying of heat!!!" to alleviate the discomfort I know we are all feeling. I could say how cold I am, but that's so obvious. DUH we're cold. It's .0 degrees outside.
Through 19 years of life (and only about 4 of those I can consider myself a rational being), I have reached a conclusion that I'm not normal. I don't know what gives it away, either. But that's okay because I is PURDY!!! :)
In conclusion, my two favorite words/phrases I think define me:
~*C'est la vie!*~
*~giggles~*
