“About Me” pages make me reminisce about the old days of Myspace, my “Top 8” friends and “notes” that would make 25-year-old me cringe amidst the words of teenage angst.
What is it about me that makes me, me? I am a jack of all trades, but have not been able to pinpoint, in my vast 25 years (har har…), that one spectacular thing about me that makes me outshine the rest. From a career perspective, I can write, type and work well. I can help people, fix their problems; I’m a good listener and I get things done. From an average Joe perspective, I love rockabilly, my Jeep, my dogs, my husband and shopping. Not much more exciting than anyone else.
What quirks do I have? Pros? Cons about me?
I hate nude tights. My socks have to match. I bite my straws into oblivion. I always, inevitably, get something into my eye. I like taking naps and wish I really could’ve rolled them over from my childhood years. I don’t like looking at myself in mirrors. I’ve battled with my weight my whole life. I hate blue ink pens. I prefer my cheap Apple headphones over my Beats headphones. I hate phone calls. I hate dealing with people. (No, I really do. A real oxymoron considering I work with the public.) I like my dogs better than most people. I like my nails shaped into stilettos. I conceal carry a gun. I never completed college. I love writing, but I’m just not that good enough to push anything to publication. And so on.
How I feel on a daily basis.
My current “About Me” is the old me, if you will, and states: Vegas pin-up, rockabilly and Jeepin’ 4×4 girl. I complain a lot, I hate my job and write what I please. I aim to impose my opinion where it’s not warranted or needed and I aim to expose the fallacies of every day life.
Contrary to popular belief, yes, your writing can always improve. Take constructive criticism and don’t whine.
Not very pleasant. So let’s twist that around, jazz it up a little and make it more aesthetically pleasing, shall we?
A blue-eyed rockabella from Vegas venturing down a road of self-improvement. I love my ’98 Jeep Cherokee and I love putting on my red lipstick everyday and feeling as pretty as a 50’s pin-up. The pride and joys of my life are my husband and two little dogs. I am learning that life is far too short: don’t waste time being negative, don’t make assumptions about someone you’ve just met and never pass up an opportunity to do something that makes you happy.
I write about what inspires me, what I want to improve on and life experiences. Ultimately, YOU are the only one who can metamorphose your life into the life you want. Don’t hesitate a day longer.
Tell me your thoughts and what you would change if you could!
Many thanks for reading!
