“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ~ Oscar Wilde
I’m not entirely sure what’s prompting me to write about this today…I have tons of support (amazing hubby, family, and friends) and no one (that matters at least) that’s asking me to change…in fact, most people in my life quite like me as I am!
But prompted I am so….
Things I Just Am or Do, Therefore, No Apologies Required!
Holy hell am I disorganized!
I am so not a self-starter.
I am a people-pleaser.
I like wine. I mean…I REALLY like wine.
I get my words and thoughts all jumbled up. I can’t help it…there’s so much I want to say!
I spend lots of time on social media.
I sometimes eat pop-tarts. And I sometimes go through the McDonald’s drive-thru.
I have no less than 15 lip balms on me at any given moment.
I am melancholy.
I laugh at fart and burp jokes. Really – I laugh at anything having to do with bodily functions.
I wear my emotions on my sleeve.
I don’t wear underwear (just seeing if you’re reading /grin). But truly…I don’t.
I do not deal well with ambiguity.
I can be standoffish. It’s not you…it’s me. Well – sometimes it might be you….
I like being a big old dork in public.
I like Ke$ha.
I do not balance my time wisely.
I don’t even try to do everything right…because I know I can’t.
I am sensitive.
I can let dishes sit in the sink for more than a day.
I am very self-aware but I walk around with my head in the clouds.
I am selfish.
I have a super soft and easily hurt heart.
What have you come to accept about yourself and have you quit apologizing for it?

i found your blog from the discussion board at liv’s bbtbl ….. it’s a lovely blog. i love the name. i already feel as though we are friends.
i loved this post. sometimes it’s just good to put things out there.
i have the same compass you do. north is straight ahead. south is behind me.
i have an obsession with bacon. all things bacon.
i love sharpie markers.
i have been known to laugh at the most inopportune times.
i call underwear = cutiepants.
i’ll leave at that, since this is just a “nice to meet you” post. :D happy thursday!!!

Thank you so so much for stopping by and sharing some of yourself (off to check you out /grin).
Bacon is next to godliness…have you ever had bacon jam? OMG good!
And finally! Someone who gets my sense of direction! I tell my husband…just pretend everything is starting north of where I’m standing..*then* I’ll get where he’s trying to explain I go. He just grumbles lol.
Nice to meet you too ~ Jen

This made me smile today :) I could write a million things about me…
When I decide I like something. I REALLY like it and get slightly obsessed
I have more than 100 pairs of shoes
I have never mowed a lawn
I am overly organized and drives people nuts at times
I am learning to let go of having things go my way
I could go on and on…

Ooooh – I can so relate to getting slightly obsessed (like I am with wine now…next it might be hedgehogs…who knows?!?) .
I want to see your shoe closet sometime and your organization complements my disorganization well, lol!
I still struggle with disappointment when things don’t go as I envisioned…please let me know when you figure that one out. No one likes a pouty Jen /grin

I just popped over from BBTL and wow I love you just for admitting your disorganization and the dishes in the sink! You’d be right at home at my house! Great blog!
Twitter: thewhlehrtdlife
Thanks for stopping by! You should see my sink right now…oy. Truly – I do try to keep up but sometimes it’s just not the most important thing!
Can’t wait to get to know you more through BBTL :).
Jen {The Wholehearted Life} recently posted..no apologies
I just came over from BBTL and LOVE this post. No apologies! :) I am also disorganized!
Love your sense of humor and your blog. Lovely! I’m looking forward to getting to know folks and their blogs in this course.

Thanks so much for stopping by and your feedback!!!! I need to keep reminding myself ‘no apologies’ but hey…I’m a work in progress, lol.

[...] where I’d like to be? What do I want to be doing better and what am I willing to let go and accept as part of [...]

Great post, as usual Jen! I actually have a lot of similar ones as you do. I’ve come to not apologize for me being me. I tend to believe sometimes that “there’s something wrong with me” and then I swing to the other side and try “perfection”. Neither works well, so I try to settle somewhere in the middle, which to me means, “unapologetic realness”. I don’t have to be perfect, I just have to be ME. :) And (most of the time) I like me.

And that’s what I like about you…unapologetic realness (love that phrase!). I’ve finally gotten to where I’m ok showing people my more vulnerable and icky bits and guess what? I’ve made lots more true and lasting friendships. It all had to start with me actually liking me..novel idea, no? But as you understand…all too hard sometimes to practice :/

Love you Jen! We are two kindred spirits! Can’t wait to hear from you regarding our next coffee chat!!! :)
