Snowflake Challenge: Day 8

[balsamandash]

I am gonna dance back eventually and do day 7 -- oh boy, do I have Plans for day 7 -- and probably 5 and 6 too, when I am not failing at sleep and two hours past my bedtime already, but in trying to return to being caught up and participating here, let me jump ahead now that there's one I don't have to do much for.

In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Surf the comments and find people to give love to.

Like a lot of other people seem to be saying -- openly asking for love is hard and feels weird and kind of makes my brain flail. But that's probably part of the reason why it's good for people to do it. It shouldn't be a bad thing to want love. I am bad at remembering that when it comes to me and one of the first people to champion it to everyone else. So here I am, because it's at least a little easier to do it when it's because someone else has charged me to do it than to do it at random anyway.

In short:
Hey! I am behind and pretty lazy
But here is day eight, so love me maybe?
And we're all hypocrites, it's so silly
I'm gonna sleep now, but love me maybe?

It's easier to say good things about others because we're limited to the outside-our-bodies experience of others, while we know ourselves much more intimately. It becomes harder to believe when you know all the reasons you did something, instead of only receiving the benefit.

Openly asking for love is tough because there's always a jerk that says you don't deserve it. It would be easier if they were some external force.
