I want to get my first tattoo so bad! post photos when you get it! Where & what are you getting??

:) Aww yeah! I'm so nervous, but really excited. 

Describe a time when you felt truly beautiful.

I never really feel "truly beautiful". It's not really something I think about much?

One time I came close was about two nights ago, where I posted a selfie + entry talking about how I left a toxic relationship and started loving myself. I think that's when I really realised how great I was/could be. I went to sleep happy that night.

Describe what you think the “perfect” you should be. Now describe the real you + say something about why life is just as good as you are.

The perfect me would be taller. Slimmer. More toned, and also have wackily-coloured hair. She would be more active. She would be able to run a marathon, and perform amazing synchro routines. She wouldn't hate the two rounds she has to do every PE lesson. Gets less sweaty and smelly. 

The perfect me would be more sensitive. Less harsh. Better with words. Not so impulsive. Wise, always speaking with kindness. Less judgemental. More loving towards her family and sisters. Less of a lazy bum who doesn't do anything around the house. More disciplined, less inclined towards procrastination.

The real me is chubby, with maybe a little left of the muscle I used to have. She has black hair that sometimes falls in pretty waves. She sometimes stinks but that's a reminder to go shower. She's slowly working towards fitness.

The real me is honest. So honest, there is no filter between her thoughts and her words. This may be a bad thing, but one can be assured that she won't lie to you unless it's about something trivial (like whether she's the one who finished and didn't replace the toilet paper roll). She won't butter you up, or get close to you for reasons other than wanting to be your friend. The real me is sincere. The real me is less judgemental than some of the company she keeps, but still working towards zero judgement.

The real me is a horrible procrastinator. She spends probably 40% of her homework time on tumblr, and the rest on social media/god knows what. The real me is impulsive, but this might be not so bad, because if not now, then when? If not me, then who? The real me gets experience from the mistakes she makes. She keeps in mind what she's done, and tries to apply this new knowledge to different situations. It doesn't always work, but she keeps trying.

The real me is not perfect. In fact, far from it. But I picture a world where I am the perfectly described person, and I realise there is no room for development, no room for growth. There will be no humility in me (I have humility problems). The perfect me would not be human, and frankly, if I were that perfect me, I'd probably find more things wrong with myself.

(yes I'm very behind)

July 6th: Put on an outfit you usually aren't confident in a rock it

Okay so there's this shirt, it's kind of flowy and i really like it but I can't wear it because 

1) it's too revealing (sides are showing bc large arm holes)

2) I have a really large waist.

I've worn it once with my swimming consume though, cuz my costume pretty much covers all the areas that the shirt doesn't. 

I'm going swimming tomorrow (hopefully), so maybe I'll talk about that later :)

July 7th: How do you destress?

Hm ok most of my stress comes from having too many things to do, so one of the logical ways to destress would be to do it I guess :P But for other non-doable things that I stress about, I usually talk to my friends/family (whether about it or just normal chatting). I'm an extrovert and I feel a lot better with company than alone.

July 8th: Say something encouraging to a blogger doing this challenge.

Hey, princess-inprogress, you've been so much more committed to doing this than me, so all the best and jiayou in your self-love challenge :-) Hope you come out of it a better person.

July 9th: Reblog every selfie you see today and say something nice.

Sure thing! :D

July 10th: Name something you are always complimented on

Okay I'm not /always/ complimented, but one of the things people say is that I have really pretty eyes.

July 11th: Do something today that you have been too scared to try because of what others might think

Nothing comes to mind at this point of time but if it does, then I'll do it (hopefully!) :)
