Inspired by... #thislittlegirlisme

I am strong.

I am curious and excitable. When I was a little girl I used to get so excited I would feel ill. I am an instinctive and obsessive problem solver. I don't know when to stop trying to solve a problem, even when it is not mine to solve.

I need challenge, structure, plans, flexibility, autonomy, autonomous support, guidance, inspiration, feedback and more feedback. Feedback that drives me forward and helps me grow.

I love to be around people for energy.

I love time alone to recharge.

Some people drive me crazy. Some people I adore. I can change my mind about someone from one day to the next.

I am always looking for the next thing to do, to learn, to try, I never stop. I can take criticism hard. I am emotional, overthink things and get upset, but then I heal and grow. I am a fighter and will come back stronger and full of purpose after a knock. I find it hard to commit sometimes yet I am driven and loyal. I get distracted by shiny new things, ideas, people, jobs, and industries. My passion to learn and grow is immense. I want to travel the world and immerse myself in other cultures.

I am always smiling and find genuine joy in life and people. I appreciate the beauty in all forms. I am fascinated by human behavior and look for patterns everywhere. I adore people watching in cafes and inventing imaginary stories of their lives.

I can get anxious and doubt myself. I can be confident and push out of my comfort zone. I have done things that have scared the life out of me and been exhilarated after. I've hidden from conflict when it is just too scary to face.

I have been told I am too nice, too soft, too naive. That I have too much initiative and not enough confidence. I have been told to toughen up, be harder, believe in myself more, stand up for myself more.

I am tough when it is needed.

I am a Mum, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a foe.

I have been employed, unemployed, and self-employed.

I have loved and lost, I have loved and remained.

I love strong hugs that last forever. [I miss hugs since Covid.]

I am passionate and vibrant. I can be awkward and I get nervous when other people are nervous. I squirm at small talk and thrive in deep conversations. I love to present to crowds even though it scares me. I am an empath who absorbs other people's emotions. I have to protect myself from toxic people who sense my vulnerabilities and crush my confidence.

I believe in fairness and try always to accept differences.

I fail sometimes, I succeed sometimes.

I am a contradiction, a melting pot. I am an extrovert and an introvert. I am a chameleon. I have no one true calling, I enjoy things while they are enjoyable, I move on when I stop learning. I like to make an impact on people. I like to inspire and be inspired, to share, and to connect. I am an open book. I have inspired others and have been inspired. I wish greatness on everyone and work towards a happier more fair world. I like to treat all people the same way, even for those who don't deserve it. I see the best in everyone even when I shouldn't.

I am forever curious.

I love consistency though I am not consistent.

I am not perfect. I am a work in progress.

This little girl is me.
