I'm writing a book, I'm learning how to drive, I'm studying for my TEFL certificate, I'm an active member of Toastmasters--after many setbacks I'm finally getting my post-college life off the ground and still finding time to take care of myself and do my hobbies. I'm also proud of the fact that I am a very versatile writer: I'm good at writing both short, snappy dialogue and HUGEASS METAS that stretch for 3-4 pages or more single spaced. (1/2)
I also want to thank you for prompting people to tell you things that they are proud of about themselves. I have been on Tumblr since high school, and I have always felt saddened by the way things seem to center around everybody here being a shit human being. In the non-RP parts of Tumblr, people are always talking about how they are fat, ugly, lazy and stupid, and while much of it is self-deprecating humor, I still see precious little talk about peoples' good traits.
Moreover, I feel as though Tumblr is used primarily as a venting space for many people particularly marginalized people, and while our struggles deserve attention, our successes and happinesses as people deserve attention as well. So it really means a lot to me that someone is going out and actively encouraging people to be positive about themselves, since that is something I don't often see here. Much love!
Come tell Ditto what you are proud of about yourself !!
There is so much here that Ditto is happy to see you take pride in !!
Most importantly, Ditto is happy to see you taking time & pride in taking that time for yourself. The world can get so busy, we forget to do that sometimes. But !! It is very important.
Ditto was raised by a wonderful pair of ladies, that helped Ditto to see failures or hiccups not as bad things, but as stepping stones to get to the good things. You can’t obtain talent in anything without a few little mistakes, & while it’s important to make note of them, dwelling on them or gaslighting them does not help at all.
Encouragement & positive reinforcement goes farther than scolding or pointing out flaw excessively.
Everyone deserves a little help, too. Cause sometimes we as humans get so wrapped up in taking care of others, & making ourselves available to others, that we forget how to do that for ourselves.
So !! Ditto is here. Ditto will remind people, & give them the mic, the spotlight on the dance floor. The boost up to the next tree branch !!
Thank you for taking a minute to be proud of yourself, & share it with Ditto & the Dash !!
