[Soft*Silver]

I’m a strong willed woman, and when I attach myself to an idea, I don’t let go of it. This is proven to be both good and bad in my life.

And even though I am at ease in front of a large audience, giving a speech, but if I have to do one on one in a new situation with a new person, it is incredibly uncomfortable for me

And people don’t realize how sensitive I am. Someone once commented about a physical feature of mine and to this day, I fret about it. I don’t talk about it. But in my head, I feel less worthy because of it. But because I don’t talk about it, people don’t realize that i am sensitive about it.

Speaking of flaws….

When I was younger, I used to collect flaws, like dogs would collect sticks, walking around with them like they were some kind of prize, never realizing they were just sticks. I would often beat myself up with these sticks too. But the good thing about getting older is that you just see them as sticks and you can lay them down anytime you want. Or you can whittle at them and change their form somewhat make them something useful. I pretty much have my sticks under control now.

I hate the smell of vanilla. I don’t know why, but I have a knee-jerk reaction to it. I can eat vanilla, but I don’t like the smell of it.
