This Is Why I'm Hot: The Self-Esteem Post

Panama Jackson did a post that I loved, laying how he's so dope. I'm gonna play copy cat. My general approach to hating is if you're not going to help, and you're not going to be happy for me, screw it--I'm still going to do my thing. But, it's nice to remind yourself of your strengths.

Why I'm winning at life:

1.) My spiritual life is on point.
I have an amazing church family, accountability, and a great relationship with Christ. Important stuff.

2.) I'm hot.
I've concluded that I'm an above average, great looking girl--I can't even hide it behind glasses, braces, or big hair. I'm beautiful--mind, body, and soul.

3.) I've got style.
I do my own thing, have my own look, and it works well.

4.) “Harder than y’all cuz I’m smarter than y’all"
I'm pretty bright. That's an understatment. I'm brilliant on so many levels, I scare myself sometimes. Like list item #2, I've tried scaling back, but my brain will not be limited!

5.) "Do the right thing"
I've got a moral compass that has quickly become my favorite attribute, it keeps me living a mostly guilt-free life.

6.) I bank.
I've got a full-time job that pays well with good benefits, and a side gig that, by next year, will probably be bringing in equal or more than my main joint. I've managed to keep debt to a minimum. Money ain't no thing.

7.) The fro, yo.
My hair is seven kinds of magical. lol. Seriously, it is my favorite feature.

8.) I've got great friends.
My network of friends still amazes me. How did I meet such cool, boss people? DC living. You meet cool people, they move to cool places, you get to visit. Not a bad exchange.

9.) "Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity"
My creed--it's been a mostly helpful way to approach life. I love trying new things and testing the limits.

10.) I'm a foodie.
I cook, and I do it really, really well. I love eating good food--I don't count calories or worry over fat. I believe in a healthy diet, with lots of room for splurging. I believe in food as a fundamental part of fellowship. I fellowship a lot. I'm a foodie.
