I grew up in a culture that chopped down the tall poppies so this one I've had to learn as I've grown into myself.
Others appreciate my sense of humour, my kindness, my listening ability, my ability to tell-it-like-it-is (and possibly my swearing!), my encouragement and my celebration of others.
I am proud that I've navigated so much change in my life, that I've taken steps others have baulked at and tried new things, even if some haven't worked out how I thought they might. I haven't let fear stop me from giving things a go.
I love my own company. I've never been bored. There's always something to think about and I've been getting better and better at feeling things too.
My firstborn child developed an eating disorder as a young teen that lasted many years. Such strength I never knew I had. To watch a human you love self-destruct and try to disappear is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I dug deep and supported my whole family, learning a huge amount about myself in the process. It was a long, marathon of an experience and we all made it through.
