This Is Me.

This is me.

This is me. My hair air drying. Not caring how it turns out. Throwing it up in a pony if it’s “unbearable.” In a tank top, leggings, and chacos most of summer. When winter comes, it switches to a crewneck and tennis shoes. Usually not caring how “nice” it looks or if everything matches perfectly. I’d rather be comfortable than fashionable. I like to dress up on the rare occasion, but it doesn’t happen often.

This is me. Caring for others to the point that I sometimes forget about what I need done for myself. Wanting to make everyone feel comfortable. I hate when there is tension between others and try to fix it. I am a people pleaser. Being the person people can talk to even if we’ve barely known each other. I’ll stop and talk if someone needs to. I love conversation. It doesn’t matter what the conversation is about. I just like to listen and engage in conversations.

This is me. I go crazy when my plan gets messed up. I like things to go how I planned them from the start. If something changes, I need a minute to process before being okay with it. I like to be efficient with time and don’t like things to run late. Arriving early to almost any event. I like spontaneous events on the rare occasion when friends strongly encourage me to go. And in the end, I’m usually in love with what we just did. I like to keep myself busy and organized.

This is me. Either found staying in with my family and dogs or out with my one or two really close friends. A home body. Someone who finds comfort just laying in bed with a book. Retreating to my room when I’ve had enough time around other people some days. Other days I can’t get enough time with friends and family wishing the hours would slow down. 

This is me. Not worrying what others think about me on the outside but sometimes worry about it on the inside. Being true to myself and trying to not be persuaded by todays “societal norms” of how most teenage girls should live life. 

This is me. Living life for Jesus. Constantly being surrounded by the Church and working to spread the Word through actions. Sometimes afraid to go out and just preach the Word verbally. More comfortable showing His love through my actions but trying to grow and be able to be okay to straight out share the Word verbally.

This is me. Just a glimpse into how I see myself on the inside. How I am without everything you see from just a “picture” look. There’s a lot more to me but when it comes down to the basics, This is me. 

 

–Anna, one of my squad mates, encouraged us to write a blog inspired by Bella Robertson “This is me.” instagram post. I had never heard of this, but when I did some looking into it, I really liked the idea of a “This is me.” post. It’s nice and personal. So I gave it a shot! Hope you enjoyed reading this!– 

Lots of Love, Paige 🙂
