dizzojay | Snowflake Challenge

Day 9 - In your own space, brag about yourself. Tell us what things you've done that you're proud of; the things that make you the wonderful person you are. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I think most of us find these sorts of challenges difficult - I know I do!

On the whole I believe I manage to be a fairly decent person; I’m moderately intelligent and I’m creative, but I don’t think I’m exceptional in any of those regards.

But okay, this is me banging the Dizzo Drum:

I like that I’m an empathetic person. I genuinely care when people are hurting, particularly those people I know and care about.

I think I’m a loyal person – being an only child, my friends – my ‘found family’ - have always been important to me.

I like that creativity is such an important part of who I am. Having a creative outlet is as vital to my wellbeing as food and water.

I like being a bit of an oddball. I’ve never, ever wanted to be mainstream or conventional – I couldn’t imagine anything worse. In the office, I’m the 52 year old woman who talks about cons and fandom, has a Supernatural back tattoo, marathons Star Wars and has Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy theme as her ring tone. And I’m really proud of that individuality!
