Radical Self Love Giveaway! Murano Glass Heart Pendant!

[ 2 March 2010 ]

Murano Heart Pendant

You’ve come a long way, baby! Radical Self Love has kicked our asses five ways from Sunday… & I hope you’ve enjoyed it!

If you never managed to find a Radical Self Love totem, or you lost yours, or sheesh, if you just like hearts, this giveaway is for you!

Up for grabs is a beautiful Murano glass heart-shaped pendant, like the one pictured! Exquisite, delicate, flecked with gold & totally one of a kind — what could be a more perfect totem for Radical Self Love?

Murano glass art started in Rome in the 9th Century. It’s created when chemical silica is heated to extremely high temperatures & then crafted by the artisan using a glass-blowing technique. When the glass begins to cool, colouring agents are added.

Every single piece of Murano glass is handmade, making each item completely unique.

How can you enter? Just tell us what you love most about yourself! It could be your unusual laugh or your devotion to making strangers smile, your freckles or your smooching prowess — whatever it is, sing it loud & proud in a comment below!

Thank you so very, very much to Marina from Murano Glass Gifts for sponsoring this Radical Self Love giveaway!

This contest is open to everyone & will be drawn next Tuesday! Be sure to enter your real email address so I can contact you if you win. (I promise never to spam you!)

Good luck!


Love & love & love,

    <3 Liz · Mar 1, 11:10 PM · #

  33. My favorite thing about myself is my intelligence. I’m not a boastful person but if my intelligence is put to question, I will defend it as long as I can. :)

    But the next favorite is my legs ;P

    <3 Jaco · Mar 2, 10:18 AM · #

  34. My favorite thing about myself is my loyalty. It has always been my favorite quality, i’m fiercely loyal to my friends, family and significant others, which I personally feel is a huge factor in having a relationship.

    <3 Allegra Boyd · Mar 2, 10:22 AM · #

  35. My favourite thing about myself is my devotion to being to true to myself and being authentic. With that I’ll never lose my way.

    It’s a beautiful pendant! I love Murano glass! I once saw a glass blowing demonstration in Venice! AMAZING!

    <3 Karen · Mar 2, 10:26 AM · #

  36. My favourite thing about myself is that I usually make people feel better. They cheer up with the colors of my clothes, with the silly things I say, with a smile or a polite and nice word, with a cute and funny face… And I love doing that.
    Of course, I’m not a happy fairy 24/7 but life is much better when I am like that, so I do it every time I can :)

    Thank you… Your radical self love posts are very inspiring ♥

    <3 pirpir · Mar 2, 10:27 AM · #

  37. My favorite thing about myself is my determination and focus on my goals. Also, I love my hair after a professional blow dry!

    <3 Roseanne · Mar 2, 10:29 AM · #

  38. I love that where ever I go, I find friends that I didn’t know I knew.

    I am so beyond lucky that I am often told “I don’t know why, but it’s like I’ve known you forever!” And I adore that – I wish I knew how to capture it and give it out, with a wee bottle of lovetonic, ‘cos it’s so joyous!

    <3 mizWright · Mar 2, 10:34 AM · #

  39. My favourite thing about myself is my creativity. I love that I see the world in a different way through being creative, that I can challenge conventions and find inspiration everywhere and most of all I love that I can write.

    <3 Kat · Mar 2, 10:34 AM · #

  40. I love my weird little way of looking at the world. The beginning of Blake’s poem “Auguries of Innocence” really resonates for me:
    “To see a world in a grain of sand,
    And a heaven in a wild flower,
    Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
    And eternity in an hour.”

    I see art and beauty in everything. It makes life so wonderful.

    <3 Alzy · Mar 2, 10:35 AM · #

  41. I already have one really similar so I don’t want to be entered I’d rather someone else got it. =) It is very pretty though.

    But I think the thing I love most about myself is that if I feel something I feel it right down to my bones. It makes me intense and passionate. It often makes me wild and magical. It drives me to be sincere even if it often makes others think I’m crazy. It makes me, me and it’s my favourite thing about me.

    <3 Kristi · Mar 2, 10:35 AM · #

  42. My favorite thing about myself is my continual optimism. I try very hard not to let life’s little knocks get me down, and I do my very best to inspire that optimism in the people around me! I strongly believe in not sweating the little things – it helps me keep from getting bogged down when the big things do show up.

    <3 Paige · Mar 2, 10:37 AM · #

  43. I’ve seen the glass art on the island of Murano and loved it! They are known for their glass art and I’ve wanted to be a glassblower since I was a little girl. This necklace would be pretty awesome to me for that reason.

    My favourite thing about myself is that I often try to take other people’s feelings into consideration. What would that be called, sympathy? empathy?

    I also like my smile :)

    <3 Savannah · Mar 2, 10:38 AM · #

  44. beautiful!!

    I guess the thing I love most about myself is my cheerfulness towards friends and strangers. I have a very bubbly personality and it can be contagious. The next best thing to self love is spreading the love to others!

    <3 Caleidh · Mar 2, 10:38 AM · #

  45. I love myself most when I give in to my most whimsical notions. Like building a fort in my living room complete with fairy lights!

    <3 Britt · Mar 2, 10:39 AM · #

  46. I love the fact that I have made every single person I know laugh at some point. xoxo

    <3 'Becca'lise (Perfectly Swell) · Mar 2, 10:39 AM · #

  47. Ooh, favorite thing eh? I love myself in general, but right now we’ll go with my love & acceptance of change. Makes living life much easier when you expect it and welcome it :)

    <3 Sarah Yoshi · Mar 2, 10:39 AM · #

  48. While being modest, my favourite thing about myself is the way that I look at the world.
    I have no time for negativity – only positivity, loving, radiant energy, and beauty.
    As an art student, I feel that Life and the Universe hold special little gifts or signs, sometimes only and all for me; found in the places where people overlook, or least expect it.
    One little moment of appreciation for serenity and magnificence can change the course of your entire day. Nothing gets me down, because I know I’m magical in my own little way, and nothing or no one can ever change that!

    Radical self love!
    Namaste!♥

    <3 Ka · Mar 2, 10:40 AM · #

  49. The thing I love most about myself is that I love to help people, no matter the situation! This is why I am going to become a counselor.

    <3 alison · Mar 2, 10:40 AM · #

  50. My favorite thing is life, another day and the sun comes out again. Moments to remember Haiti and what can be given.

    <3 Madeleine Gallay · Mar 2, 10:40 AM · #

  51. I love the fact that I am cool with my age, I am 46 nearly 47! People ask me “don’t you wish that you could go back to your 20’s” or “wouldn’t it be great to be a kid again” and I always say NO! There is a lot to be said for the age I am…I am having a lot of fun…and I have a wonderful boy friend who incidentally is 11 years younger than me YAY! Life is wonderful in your 40’s, you worry so much less about the little things and can better judge what the little things are that are not worth bothering with! Smooches to one and all, happy March and have a groovy day! My e-mail is: frodoismycat@hotmail.com

    <3 L. Casher · Mar 2, 10:41 AM · #

  52. That has to be the prettiest thing ever. I swear!

    Things I love about myself?

    1. I have a laugh that has to be the most obnoxious thing ever. But, in a good way. If I laugh, people know exactly who it is. You can’t miss it for the world. And I’ve actually learned to love it.

    2. I love my sarcasm, which most people don’t understand. But, it makes me different I guess!

    3. I love how awesome my toes are. I can spread them so far apart and do epic things with them, like write and pick up things.

    Does that count?

    =D

    <3 Cait Hagar · Mar 2, 10:42 AM · #

  53. I love my curly hair. It is crazy, unruly, frizzy, big, perfect & me.

    <3 Indigo · Mar 2, 10:44 AM · #

  54. My nose, my hair, my smile, my one dimple, my laugh, my loyalty, my hands, the ways I support my friends and loved ones when they need me, my sense of humor, my knowledge of random weirdness and facts, how far I’ve come (I’m over 30 and it’s great), my writing, my ability to talk to strangers about what they love and what they’ve made and what makes them tick, my sense of weirdness and whimsy, and that i have worked hard enough to write about what i love for a living!

    <3 mj · Mar 2, 10:45 AM · #

  55. My favourite thing about myself is my kooky individuality and wild sense of passion!

    <3 Louise · Mar 2, 10:49 AM · #

  56. I love myself most when I bring out my inner child no matter how much older I get, having fun on swings and drawing smiley faces in the snow :D

    <3 Hannah · Mar 2, 10:50 AM · #

  57. Gorgeous!!
    Okay, lets see, my favorite thing about myself. Probably how outgoing I am and how I’m never afraid to make a fool out of myself. I always go with my gut and do what I think is best for me! And I am incredibly good at making people smile even when they’re in the crappiest mood (and I usually do this by making a fool out of myself…perfect)
    Thanks Gala, that made my morning :)

    <3 JennaStevie · Mar 2, 10:52 AM · #

  58. I’ve come to love many things about myself lately (thank you RSLmonth and such :) ).
    But there is one that I noticed almost immediately, among all negativity: when I laugh, it’s like a scale of notes!

    <3 Euforilla · Mar 2, 10:52 AM · #

  59. My favourite thing about myself is, that I’m pretty much always smiling and acting positively, which makes a lot of people around me a lot happier :)

    <3 Ann · Mar 2, 10:53 AM · #

  60. what do i love about myself? I just keep going on. that’s what matters most. I just pick myself up and keep going on.

    <3 Melissa Dominic · Mar 2, 10:54 AM · #

  61. My favourite thing about myself is my intelligence and knack for science. It just makes me feel amazing about myself to know that in my Physics classes, where all the other top students are male, the majority of the time I just blow them away. And I love being able to find it fun to just sit around, trying to wrap my mind around things, and it’s the most gratifying experience when all of the pieces finally click and everything just makes sense. : )

    <3 Cyndee · Mar 2, 10:55 AM · #

  62. I HEART my friends. They are always there with a motivating hand, wherever in the globe, and MOST importantly push me to love, live, laugh and be happy inside myself!

    <3 Jammy · Mar 2, 10:55 AM · #

  63. It’s so beautiful!

    I love that I can inspire a possitive attitude in myself and others and that no matter what happens or what may go wrong that there is and will always be a plan B

    <3 Cate · Mar 2, 10:56 AM · #

  64. Ooh GORGEOSITY! I would say that looks how my heart feels right now but I’d be lying as I know full well my heart is fluorescent peach with gold and pink glitter. Fo sho.
    What do I love most about myself? Well my big sexy swollen radical self love is suggesting a lot of things to me right now so I’ll list a few:
    1) I have the most ridiculous booming belly laugh which practically explodes out of me at any given moment like “HOO HOO HOO!” and I am told it is very infectious.
    2) I have what is called a “tidy hourglass” figure which means I’m a uk size 12 but have a booty that go on till sunday and a very saucy F cup and BOY do I consider meself blessed.
    3) I have lovely lovely long blonde hair. Like a lickle princess.
    And finally,
    4) I am super positive, super strong and I know I can achieve anything I want. I might be brassy and loud but it’s not a front, I go through life smiling inside and out and always will.

    therefore:

    :D

    <3 Rose Flowers · Mar 2, 10:57 AM · #

  65. My favourite thing about myself is my mind. Not just my intelligence, not just my personality, the whole package. I’m always grateful daily that despite the various things that go wrong with my body (illnesses and the like) my mind has always remained healthy and active (even over-active at times).

    I’m thankful that I am capable of Radical Self Love, that my mind is healthy and allows me to love myself to the full.

    <3 Vixel · Mar 2, 11:00 AM · #

  66. What I most love about myself is that I am always open to new ideas and new ways of looking at things!

    <3 Katja · Mar 2, 11:02 AM · #

  67. What do I love most about myself? My flaws. My scars. My dark supernova explosion of a mind, my eclectic fashion sense & big stompy boots, and my whimsical-ness.

    <3 Twisted · Mar 2, 11:02 AM · #

  68. My favourite thing about myself is my independence, learnt from my favourite woman in the world, my Mum, who taught me that it doesn’t matter what other people think of you, it’s what you think of you that’s important.

    <3 Chrissy · Mar 2, 11:04 AM · #

  69. Just to clarify :) – My friends are a big part of me, and I love to consider them as mine!

    Rock on self love!

    J

    <3 Jammy · Mar 2, 11:04 AM · #

  70. I love it!!

    One of my favorite things about me is my patience to help people. Yesterday I actually used my RSL Bible to help a guy I don’t really know so well, so I didn’t know if it would work, but it did!

    <3 Zmaga · Mar 2, 11:07 AM · #

  71. Beautiful! I have a huge love for hearts!

    I love that I am a huge cornball!! & that I’m not afraid to claim it. Oh & I have beautiful eyes!

    <3 Erica · Mar 2, 11:09 AM · #

  72. That heart is so cute! :)

    The thing I love most about myself… I think I’m a very caring person. I care about almost everything, and everyone. It can be tiresome, as I often shoulder other people’s problems, and I feel too guilty for things that aren’t my fault. However, I think that (most of the time) it is a wonderful trait; i’ve found it can sometimes be hard to come by others who truly, truly care for other things & people beyond themselves.

    <3 Jade · Mar 2, 11:11 AM · #

  73. That pendant is exquisite. How wonderful!
    I think what I like most about myself …is that no matter how rotten a person is, I always find myself looking for some kernel of goodness in them. Even if it’s “oh, he’s got a nice selection of ties”, or “she’s got a cute puppy”, or “wow, their garden is incredible”.
    Silly things, small things. I refuse to believe that anyone is all bad.

    And if nothing else, at least I must be highly creative in coming up with these things.
    Which is another trait I like quite a bit about myself!

    <3 mlle ghoul · Mar 2, 11:14 AM · #

  74. It’s beautiful!

    My favorite things about me are that I’m a wealth of useless (but interesting!) knowledge and my natural hair color, which is a reddish-brownish-auburn color.

    <3 dee · Mar 2, 11:15 AM · #

  75. I simply adore my sense of adventure and my laid back attitude! But I also love my obsession over the color yellow, the stars, and Harry Potter. Have a lovely day!

    <3 Monika · Mar 2, 11:15 AM · #

  76. What I love about myself is that I am approachable. I am friends with such a wide variety of people. Being in High school, I see a lot of the smart kids believe they are better than everyone else, and they don’t take the time to meet amazing people. I love that I take time away from my studies to provide service to my community. I believe that just because you’re smart does not necessarily mean you’ll be of any benefit to the world around you. Sometimes, it seems school focuses way too much on selfish success, and people really need to step back and see what is important in life – friends, family and love.

    <3 Katie · Mar 2, 11:16 AM · #

  77. My favorite thing about myself, physically, are my boobs :-) Personality-wise, I love my loyalty to love!

    <3 cherie · Mar 2, 11:17 AM · #

  78. Lovelovelove it! So glad we finally found out how to enter! Also loving reading what everyone loves about themselves, and that almost none of us can pick just one thing!

    My favourite physical thing about myself is my eyes. My teeth always make my smiles look weird, but I feel that my eyes are really expressive, as well as being a really pretty shade of blue that I love! My second favourite is the barely noticeable steaks of ginger in my hair. Few other people know they are even there, but I love them just the same!

    My favourite non-tangible thing about myself is my creativity. Even if things don’t always come to fruition, I always have a swag of ideas to play with, be it a new topic to blog about, a new story to write, a new way to re-arrange my furniture, a new cocktail for the bar, a fantastic holiday idea, an amazing business plan. That leads to the thing I love most about my boyfriend: he sits there, listens to it all, and makes me feel like I can actually do all of it, that it’s not just a pipedream.

    <3 Neysa · Mar 2, 11:18 AM · #

  79. I love my the color of my eyes :)

    <3 Gesine · Mar 2, 11:20 AM · #

  80. My feet.
    There not to big, not to small. & they manage to take me to places i love, or am yet to love.

    <3 Danielle Padfield · Mar 2, 11:22 AM · #

  81. OO that is such a lovely heart-shaped pendant!! My favorite thing about myself is my singing voice. It has given me lots of opportunities to work and that makes me feel very good about myself.

    <3 Jacque · Mar 2, 11:25 AM · #

  82. The closest my dad ever came to telling me that he loved me – was to say that he thought I had a ‘warm heart’.

    So now when I think about what I love about myself, I love that I have a warm heart…

    <3 Megan · Mar 2, 11:26 AM · #

  83. Oulala, I love that glass heart!

    I love that I am a curious soul, I love that I am comfortable with vulnerability, I love that I can relate to people of all walks of life and I love that I have grown to include everyone in everything that I do. I feel for the “underdog” and I always talk to the “new” person at work/school because I want them to feel welcome and included.

    <3 Danielle · Mar 2, 11:26 AM · #

  84. I love how I never cease to be happy about the simplest little things! And, for the looks, my hair, and the way I look with flowers in it!

    <3 La Rouquine, formerly known as Poire Gourmande · Mar 2, 11:28 AM · #

  85. I love that I’m so cheerful it’s contagious!

    <3 Jodi · Mar 2, 11:28 AM · #

  86. I love the fact that I’m able to make flawless mix CDs including both Barbara Streisand AND Lil’ Wayne.

    <3 Ashley · Mar 2, 11:28 AM · #

  87. I absolutely love my singing voice and my ability to get in touch with people’s emotions quickly. I love the strength of my legs and back. I love the gold and green flecks in my eyes and the thickness of my eyebrows. I love the strangeness of my hands and feet.

    You know…I really need to sit down and do this exercise in my Radical Self-Love journal!

    Thank you so much for doing this series. While many people write about the subject, the fact that you’re using your vast audience to get the message out and get people jazzed about their own awesomeness is totally rad.

    <3 Ellie Di · Mar 2, 11:29 AM · #

  88. I think the thing I love most about myself would have to be my quirky and dry sense of humor. I like making people laugh, but in a non-obvious, subtle way. :)

    <3 Olivia · Mar 2, 11:30 AM · #

  89. hi gala :) beautiful pendant, consider me entered! hihi
    one thing i love about myself, the fact that i have grown so much in the last 2 months, especially this february with radical self love. ive devoted so much energy and focus on me (as selfish as that is) so be it! yoga, working out, going to swim class, spending time alone & loving myself; all i can say ive never been happier!! ive also dumped the negative guy in my life and ive been looking forward. thanks to you as well…loving myself is what i love best about myself :)

    <3 genevieve · Mar 2, 11:30 AM · #

  90. My favorite thing about myself is the dedication I put into cultivating natural talents, like music, intelligence, and aesthetic sensibility.

    BUT, right up front? My great legs.

    <3 Zeolite · Mar 2, 11:30 AM · #

  91. I love my sense of humor—it’s juvenile, awkward, often inappropriate, and insensitive, but it’s the one part of myself that survived 10 years of depression intact. And it allows me (this took a long time to learn) to laugh at myself.

    <3 Amy · Mar 2, 11:30 AM · #

  92. My favorite thing about myself is my strength.

    <3 Mardou · Mar 2, 11:33 AM · #

  93. Coolnes!
    I love my eyecolour -so green. :)

    <3 Oola · Mar 2, 11:37 AM · #

  94. I like my endurance.

    <3 Allison · Mar 2, 11:38 AM · #

  95. My favorite thing about myself is how stubborn and determined I am! Whenever I’m faced with ridiculous deadlines or a lot of hard work I never give up. This has really come in handy with the 7 surgeries I’ve had, because without my stubborn determination I probably would’ve never been able to walk again. A lot of the times I fight so hard just because so many people doubt me and I love to show people just how strong my willpower is.

  96. I love how sympathetic I can be; my ability to see things from many different perspectives with no judgment. I thank my brain for finding humor in times of stress, and for letting me be a creative mess.

    <3 zuma · Mar 2, 11:41 AM · #

  97. I was once described as having “excessive sparkle,” this phrase being taken from a children’s book. Whatever quirk in my personality or mannerisms, I think that is my best quality.

    <3 Persimmon · Mar 2, 11:41 AM · #

  98. My favourite thing about myself is my relentless optimism. Today it seems like it’s “cool” to be cynical about everything and everyone, but I’m brave enough to trust people, even though there’s a risk I might get hurt.

    <3 Beth · Mar 2, 11:42 AM · #

  99. i love the strong independent person i’ve become – nothing and no one is going to hold me back or down! rawr

    <3 jess · Mar 2, 11:42 AM · #

  100. What I love most about myself is my individuality!

    <3 DD · Mar 2, 11:43 AM · #

  101. The thing I love most about myself is my ability to teach science to children and to keep them curious!

    <3 Bailey · Mar 2, 11:44 AM · #

  102. My favorite thing about myself is my uncanny ability to allow the negative stuff to just roll off my back. It’s taken a long time to get to this point, and I am finally enjoying my own company.

    <3 AtomicPenguin · Mar 2, 11:47 AM · #

  103. The thing I love most about myself is my ability to write poetry! I love being able to express my self creativley and eloquently.

    <3 Cara · Mar 2, 11:49 AM · #

  104. My favourite thing about myself is my very nearly unshakeable optimism. :)

    <3 AF · Mar 2, 11:50 AM · #

  105. my favorite thing about myself is my bravery. i’m always worrying about everything but when it gets down to it, i never let anyone tell me i can’t do something. i am not afraid to take big chances that go against what everyone thinks is “best” for me. just recently, i made a spur of the moment move halfway across the country from ohio to austin, texas. i didn’t know anyone here except for my roommate and didn’t have much of a plan. but things have totally paid off and i’m so proud of myself for having the courage to make this risky choice!
    ps. that necklace is absolutely magnificent and gorgeous.

    <3 hillary · Mar 2, 11:50 AM · #

  106. My favorite thing about myself is my sense of humor. I crack myself up and it keeps me positive!

    <3 Emily · Mar 2, 11:57 AM · #

  107. I love my love of life.

    <3 tereza Jarnikova · Mar 2, 11:59 AM · #

  108. Recently, my most favourite thing about myself is my confidence. I have no problem standing up in front of a group of people and stating my opinion. Or standing in front of the entire company I work for and announcing what is new in my department when the President of the company doesn’t even bother to acknowledge it! I believe my public speaking skills are my self love at this moment!

    <3 Crystal · Mar 2, 12:00 PM · #

  109. Radical Self Love has helped me so much and I can now proudly say that I love myself for who I am. I love my hips, I love my laugh and the fact that making other people smile makes me really happy, but most of all I love my heart. That’s one thing about me that will never change, I’ll grow old and my face will wrinkle and my boobs will sag but my vibrant heart will only fade if I let it and that’s empowering!

    <3 TinyGoldenOwl · Mar 2, 12:00 PM · #

  110. My favorite thing about myself if my ability to see hope in beauty in places that people don’t normally think to look. :)

    <3 Dawn · Mar 2, 12:01 PM · #

  111. My favorite thing about myself is my absolute firm stance against gossip, its too painful for everyone and my free spirited style. No matter how critical others are of me I refuse to change my style or gossip about others just to “fit in”

    <3 Christy · Mar 2, 12:03 PM · #

  112. What I love most about me…my ability to go from stressed and hopeless to revved and focused by just thinking good things and finding a new goal! Nothing like a new project or goal to get you motivated and happy.
    MUAH!

    <3 Tranquil Blue · Mar 2, 12:03 PM · #

  113. I love that I am always known as “the shoe girl”. There’s something satisfying in knowing that I have the coolest shoes :)

    <3 Cassandra · Mar 2, 12:04 PM · #

  114. I love how even though I’m not the most popular girl or the type of girl who has a ton of friends, I’m able to be a really good friend to the people who I am close to. Those people know how much I mean to them and they mean a lot to me also. I love how I’m able to be myself around them and how they feel comfortable enough around me that they can tell me when I’m going to far or point out my flaws.

    <3 Dana · Mar 2, 12:04 PM · #

  115. My favourite thing about myself is my creativity, I make jewellery as a hobby, and I can fix almost anything I set my mind to :)

    <3 Sarah · Mar 2, 12:04 PM · #

  116. What I love most about myself is my patience. My patience with myself, mostly!

    <3 MeganS · Mar 2, 12:05 PM · #

  117. oh i love it!
    my favorite thing about myself is that i am great, lovely bag of emotions; i feel things, really how they have to be felt. and i do take things personally. and i love that. mostly because i can overlook many negative attributes to almost anything.
    so there it is. yay to being emotional and very proud of it.

    <3 Ana · Mar 2, 12:09 PM · #

  118. What I love most about myself is my ability to turn everything into a joke no matter how horrible the situation. It is a unique talent to be able to cheer others up from a horrific event by turning around tragedy and making someone laugh.

    <3 Niki LOUP Naranjo · Mar 2, 12:09 PM · #

  119. I love that I’m super crafty, that I can figure out how to do just about anything that I put my mind to. I love that I’m a writer. I love that when I laugh really hard I also clap loudly without realizing it. I love that I am the only person in this small town that dares to wear zebra leggings with white fuzzy boots. And I love that heart pendant!

    <3 clemintine · Mar 2, 12:11 PM · #

  120. Thing I love most about myself is my desire to fix things. Not in the DIY sense, but in the life sense.
    Ever since I was able to walk I’d bring home baby birds that had fallen out of their nest, kittens that had lost their way and even a fox pup to my mum I’d found alone at a roadside with the intention of nursing them to health and setting them on their way. Of course the reality was that we’d call the RSPCA and they’d take them and do the job for me.
    Even throughout nursey and primary school I was drawn to being friends with the kids from broken homes or with special needs – sure the friendships didn’t last forever but I loved being able to help someone in need when all the wanted was a friend.
    Then even with boyfriends, I always seem drawn to the guys that need ‘fixing’. Everyone of my boyfriends has lost at least one of their parents and never really dealt with it.

    So, how is that something to love about myself I hear you ask? Well, I love that my personality allows for me to help others in my everyday life and put the needs of others before mine. That I want everyone to lead a happy life and I’ll do all in my power to help someone discover it’s completely possible.

    So, yeah, Radical Self Love FTW!

    <3 Amy - Edinburgh Lass · Mar 2, 12:11 PM · #

  121. I love how I have so much love for everyone,every creature and every detail about my world from my personal journey of myself to the big journey of the whole world and human ind…it’s such a beautiful place with so much uniqueness….and delicious diversity. I love that I can see it all with unconditional love for it and myself!

    <3 kerri · Mar 2, 12:12 PM · #

  122. I love that my confidence inspires my friends and loved ones to be confident. My twin sister, who struggles with depression, always smiles and has a good time and just stops worrying about the negative things in her life when she and I spend time together. I don’t let people hate or send negative vibes out, and I help them instead see that they’re not only loved, but important and have reasons to be fully indulging on being themselves.

    <3 Tathe Weven · Mar 2, 12:13 PM · #

  123. My favourite thing about myselfy is being able to smile and show love no matter what the situation is. I could get really annoyed at someone but still smile or laugh at the situation or be pissed off at someone, and still not carry that anger with me, and carry out a smile for the rest of the day or to the next person (whether in person or on the phone). Being able to love and smile at everything, everyone or a thought, will make you happy and keep you looking young! :)

    <3 Rachel · Mar 2, 12:14 PM · #

  124. what i love most about myself is my ability to give to others, even when i have nothing. i have always felt that by helping and loving others, i too may be helped and loved someday. and that day has finally come! i feel so justified, rewarded and completely overwhelmed with happiness whenever i think about it.
    thank you for making us all realize how wonderful and gorgeous we are, gala.

    <3 monica. · Mar 2, 12:15 PM · #

  125. I’m a very loyal friend. Which is awesome :D

    <3 eva · Mar 2, 12:16 PM · #

  126. I love my ability to move on despite all the strong emotions and memories. I can grasp change and accept it as fact easily because it’s more practical to accept the way things are and progress by making the changes you feel are needed rather than waste time on what if?s and wistful thinking. Dream the world and then make it reality.

    <3 Pandora · Mar 2, 12:18 PM · #

  127. I love my creativity and being a good daughter and friend.

    <3 Mary · Mar 2, 12:20 PM · #

  128. I love my wobbly bits!
    People usually look down on me, and I get to prove myself and surprise them who stay longer. In the end, everyone’s inner qualities get what they deserve.

    <3 Lisa · Mar 2, 12:29 PM · #

  129. What I love most about myself:

    I love my ability to call bullshit on me. No, really: it’s very useful. I have a propensity to overthink everything, and a problem with perfectionism, and when I’m having a bad day I tend to get really down on myself.

    Having a voice in my head that says “Hang on, back up. You KNOW it’s not that bad” is really nice. It has talked me out of trees, and back from the edges of cliffs, and on days where I can’t seem to do anything good, it manages to stop me from doing anything bad just for the sake of having done something.

    It’s the presence of mind that suggests it is a good day to have a cup of tea, curl up with a book, and let go of what I can’t change so I can better work on what I can. It’s the same presence of mind that has helped me preserve a sense of integrity, judiciousness, and strength of will even when I’m stressed and upset and would honestly much rather scream obscenities and run off into the night. It affects every aspect of my life, and I’m grateful to have it.

    I see youth and beauty as ephemeral, so I don’t place a lot of emphasis on my looks or figure. It’s my mind I value above all.

    <3 LadyMonstrous · Mar 2, 12:29 PM · #

  130. One of my favorite things about myself is my big brown eyes. They’re similar to my grandfather’s – very dark and wide. I’ve always liked them and it’s usually one of the first things people notice.

    <3 Stephanie · Mar 2, 12:32 PM · #

  131. What I love most about myself is my sense of humor. Sometimes I go for shock value, but usually I just love to have a good old time and make my friends laugh!

    <3 Lisa · Mar 2, 12:34 PM · #

  132. I love my sense of humour. I don’t take myself too seriously and always manage to make other people laugh. It’s a great gift!

    <3 Fuchsia · Mar 2, 12:36 PM · #

  133. Lisa: haha, snap! x

    <3 Fuchsia · Mar 2, 12:38 PM · #

  134. What I love most about myself- I love myself for never giving up, never giving in and never quitting. No matter how bad it’s gotten, and it’s been pretty bad at times, I never quit. I want to quit so bad at times. I want to burying my head in the sand, go back to bed and pull the covers up over my head or drive my car off a bridge, but I don’t. I tell myself it will get better and I vow to remember, to never forget the bad days so that when the good ones come I will know them. When I was a child I never wanted to be like anyone else. Even at five and six I wanted to be different, well somewhere along the way I forgot that and tried to fit in. But that little girl inside my head would not be forgotten and finally she screamed loud enough that I heard her. So I am me, I am different, I am NOT a quitter.
    Thanks for the inspiration Gala.

    <3 Lisa · Mar 2, 12:39 PM · #

  135. I love my body. I’m not quite overweight, but nowhere near slim either. It works out rather well, and my pudge gives me a cute, well-nourised look. :]
    And for something less physical, I love the way I write!

    <3 Anna · Mar 2, 12:40 PM · #

  136. My favourite thing about myself is my eyes, they used to be dark brown, which went okay with my mixed-race complexion, but as I’ve gotten older, they’ve become even darker, and people say it’s like my pupils have spread into my irises :)
    Plus, I have quite long eyelashes, so they looks pretty awesome with eyeliner :)

    <3 Jaye · Mar 2, 12:40 PM · #

  137. What I love most about myself is EVERYTHING. I’ve fallen in love with myself. I’m so happy :) Thank you very much for everything darling, you’re the best!

    <3 Cristina · Mar 2, 12:41 PM · #

  138. Necklace is amazing…

    The thing I love most about me is one of my teeth, it is not in line with the rest of my teeth. Everyone says i should get it pulled or straighten it with braces, but I love the way it makes my smile a little off kilter. I am 22 I have grown to love my inperfections and if I pulled my tooth I would lose my imperfect quirky smile that to me is perfect. So yes I love my tooth for making my smile so quirky and making me be able to love all my imerfections that I think make me perfect.

    <3 Jessica · Mar 2, 12:43 PM · #

  139. I love my cheeks. They’re really rosy and freckly and make me feel like a children’s book character.

    <3 Marni · Mar 2, 12:46 PM · #

  140. I love my ability to lack in jealousy.
    I also love how my hair can hold curl for a week :P

    <3 bri · Mar 2, 12:46 PM · #

  141. The thing I love most about myself is my ambition. If I have a goal in mind I don’t stop until I achieve it, no matter how disheartened I may get from time to time.
    I am loving reading all of the self-appreciation!
    Brandon Flowers once said he is sick of ‘bullshit modesty’ when people act like they are modest. Society tells us we can do anything and be anyone but when we actually do it and express a bit of faith in ourselves or confidence- people don’t like it! I say let’s be full of ourselves!
    Blow your own trumpets girls!

  142. Hmm, the thing I love best about myself I would have to say is my eyes. And also currently my hair! Those are both fantastic. I love contests when you get to win things because you love yourself! Cause if you don’t win the love is still there!

    <3 Sarabell · Mar 2, 01:01 PM · #

  143. The thing I most love about myself is my ability to laugh. I love to make people laugh and I love to laugh at life and just enjoy it. But I think the best thing about laughing is the fact that my friends call my laugh “Liz’s Thunder”. I must admit my laugh is loud and boisterous, and now two of my guy friends have made Epic Armour in WoW called “Liz’s Thunder” in honor of said laugh.

    I love laughing!!

    <3 Eli · Mar 2, 01:01 PM · #

  144. I love my height. I’m 5’1”, and therefore, adorable forever :) Like Kristen Bell says, “It’s the new 6’2”!”

    <3 Hazel · Mar 2, 01:08 PM · #

  145. i am creative and resourceful. i make my own art supplies out of household objects cause i’m too poor to buy real ones and i like to recycle. yay! i also love my eyes, my elf ears, and my laugh. and i would like a pretty heart necklace to go with them :)

    <3 sara · Mar 2, 01:14 PM · #

  146. I looove the way i’m making other people laugh! I also love my beautiful eyes and hair :P Kisses from Greece

  147. Despite self suppression through survivalistic methods I found throughout my younger life (like eating disorders)...

    What I’ve always noticed and loved is, at the end of the day, I’m a strong, intelligent and brave woman.

    No amount of distraction can de-rail me from that truth: I am an amazing being that can pull through anything thats in front of me.

    So what I love most is my strength, my intuition, and my heart, they’ve all pulled me through many “dark nights of the soul.”

    <3 Emily · Mar 2, 01:17 PM · #

  148. Ah, love this competition as I really need a good totem. My current one is a picture of a heart in my purse but it’s not that great of a reminder since I hardly ever spend money so I hardly ever see it haha.

    Anyway, my first reaction to what I love about myself was along the lines of “Hmm… my eyes? Nah, my legs. Actually, my ability to make people laugh…” And I went on like this for some time, arguing with myself. And then I realised the thing I love about myself is my ability to love myself. After years of hating the freakishly tall, lanky, awkward girl in the mirror (she is long forgotten, thank God), I have finally realised that I am brilliant and I love me.

    <3 Gemma · Mar 2, 01:23 PM · #

  149. My favorite thing about myself is my ability to tell people when something is bothering me, rather than holding it in and soaking myself in irritation. It helps my relationships improve and keeps me from feeling resentful towards people I love, including myself.

    <3 Emcee Morgan · Mar 2, 01:28 PM · #

  150. I love my height. I may be shorter than average, but I love that I am completely comfortable and that I am proving tiny people can be just as awesome/fashionable/successful/intelligent as the people that are way taller.

    <3 Cindy · Mar 2, 01:32 PM · #

  151. From myself, I pretty much love every aspects of what other people could consider as defects. I love my broken nose and all the white spots in my teeth. I love my very small breast and my small mouth. I love the fact that I practically don’t see anything because it makes me see the world in such a beautiful blurry way. I love all my past sufferings because they made me what I am. I love that I am messy, crazy, insomniac, super shy. But what I love the most of myself are my two beautiful and sweet daughters (4 year and 1 month old). They are definitely the best of me :)

    <3 Itsybitsy · Mar 2, 01:33 PM · #

  152. I love how brave I am. I survived the earthquake in Chile.

    <3 Bri · Mar 2, 01:36 PM · #

  153. I have done my homework, practiced focusing, and have been working to love myself. Unfortunately, I have yet to accept myself. I look in the mirror and tell myself I’m beautiful, strong, and have a lot to offer to the world, My brain has yet to believe me. So maybe if I win I can look at this pretty pendant and think that at least some one else knows what I tell myself is true.

    <3 megan · Mar 2, 01:36 PM · #

  154. The RADICAL SELF LOVE movement is changing my life— I say, “is changing my life,” because the movement should never stop! I have realized so much about myself, my peers, my emotions, my motivation, and my very existance in general, all thanks to your beautiful Love Revolution.
    The one thing that I have learned to love about myself the most, in spite of the name, “Radical Self Love,” is my radical love for those around me. It is very true that you can’t love anyone until you love yourself, and now that I’m head-over-heels with Me, I’m able to love everyone else with everything I have.
    I dedicate each and every day to a certain person, maybe a friend or family member, and I spend the day writing them letters or making them cookies just to let them know that I love them!
    This is my favorite thing about myself because it makes me feel wonderful, loved, and beautiful, and because it inspires others to look at themselves and realize that THEY ARE GORGEOUS INSIDE AND OUT, and that RADICAL SELF LOVE should be a part of their beautiful lives as well. *

    <3 destinee · Mar 2, 01:43 PM · #

  155. Well, this question certainly has me focusing on the positive rather than the negative about myself! I like my blue eyes, and have gotten many compliments on them-even after middle aged wrinkles and 100 or so extra pounds. Another thing I think I do well is listen. I have a job which requires lots of listening to clients, and some are disabled. I am pretty good about remaining patient with my clients (except those that come in with attitudes) and willing to work with them for any assistance they may need.

    <3 Michele P. · Mar 2, 01:45 PM · #

  156. like everyone, it’s hard to pick just one thing about myself that i love most. i think if i had to pick something, though, it would be how well i dream, both waking and sleeping. if i didn’t dream, i would be nowhere near who i am today.

    <3 mars · Mar 2, 01:48 PM · #

  157. I love how random I am! Whenever a situation comes up where something I’ve learned applies, I always have a factoid for my friends. My friends always tell me that they learn so much from our outings.

    <3 Megan · Mar 2, 01:50 PM · #

  158. I love love love my passion for what I do, and I also love my nose! It’s my favorite part of my face.

    <3 Plunk! · Mar 2, 01:51 PM · #

  159. I love my creativity, strength and intuition.

    <3 bleiu · Mar 2, 01:55 PM · #

  160. I love the way my pale skin contrasts with my dark hair and eyes. It reminds me every day of my unique heritage; German, Scottish and Portuguese. Quite a few people have commented over the years on how “mysterious” I look, and I can’t help but love that! I’m a Scorpio and have always been a fan of the dramatic, and I love how my features reflect my personality and interests.

    <3 Lauren · Mar 2, 01:56 PM · #

  161. My ability to see the good in (almost) everyone :)

    <3 Natalie · Mar 2, 02:00 PM · #

  162. The thing I love about myself right now is my willingness to change my hair color on a whim. It’s my hair and I’ll do what I want with it!

    <3 Sare · Mar 2, 02:00 PM · #

  163. I love the way I write. A lot of people tell you to limit your use of adjectives, but I think that is what makes my writing so ME. Everything would be so empty without them.

    <3 Greta · Mar 2, 02:02 PM · #

  164. I love my big mama nose, my quirky sense of humor, and my dancing abilities!

    <3 Gabby · Mar 2, 02:02 PM · #

  165. I love how talkative I am and how I always have something to say. It’s gotten to the point where, when a couple weeks ago I had laryngitis, people were alternately really concerned for me and poking fun at me. I love telling people what I think!

    <3 Gennie Catastrophe · Mar 2, 02:06 PM · #

  166. My smile. Its lovely. It really is :)

    <3 V · Mar 2, 02:12 PM · #

  167. What I most love about myself isn’t entirely physical…it’s more my personality. I’ve always been very patient and grounded and I am happy, always so thankful when in rough situations I have the ability to get through it.

    <3 Tegan · Mar 2, 02:14 PM · #

  168. I love my ability to make others happy. I’m not sure how it works but I guess my energy just projects itself. haha. I also love my acceptance of my insecurities. The way I sometimes try to pretend I have no insecurities and absolutely failing is kinda funny. :P

    <3 Gaiya · Mar 2, 02:14 PM · #

  169. I love my wonky, off-the-wall sense-of-humor.

    I also love my intelligence. While I’ve sometimes doubted my braininess in the past, I’ve come to realize that I really am smarter than I thought. :D

    <3 Erinn · Mar 2, 02:15 PM · #

  170. i love that i was able to find the creativity in me again after so long.

    <3 jes · Mar 2, 02:16 PM · #

  171. what i love about me is how much love i have in me. i would go out of my way to help someone i care about. yet, i would not neglect myself! i am full of love, for others and, perhaps most importantly, for myself.

    <3 tatiana · Mar 2, 02:18 PM · #

  172. The thing I like most about myself is that I always try to see the light side of everything. I always try to laugh my way through life, and know that tomorrow will be a brand new day!

    <3 Rowanna Ellis · Mar 2, 02:21 PM · #

  173. I love the birthmark on my right cheek, and that when I smile, it hides in my dimple :)

    <3 Tia · Mar 2, 02:23 PM · #

  174. I adore my capacity for forgiveness.

    <3 Jane Doe · Mar 2, 02:24 PM · #

  175. I love my ethnicity! I used to be ashamed of my culture and background when I was younger growing up. But now at the age of 20, I love everything about being Chinese and all the differences. I’ve learned to love myself and others through everything I’ve experienced!

    <3 Cand · Mar 2, 02:25 PM · #

  176. The thing I love about my myself is my independence. I love that I am now my own person with my own goals and that I can do things by myself without having to have some to push me or help me.

    <3 Megan Jackson · Mar 2, 02:29 PM · #

  177. I love that I can make people laugh. I love that I make myself laugh. Sometimes my humour makes no sense at all and I find the strangest things funny, or I invent things in my head that make me chuckle and I LOVE that.

    <3 Michelle · Mar 2, 02:31 PM · #

  178. I love the way I never give up on something, my determination :)

    <3 KJ · Mar 2, 02:34 PM · #

  179. What I love most right now is that, even though I’ve been terribly depressed due to changes in my medication lately, I have managed to surround myself with incredible and loving people who have been there for me and I have been able to continually tell myself that this person who doesn’t care about anything isn’t really me and that once I take care of the medication, I will be back to my normal, glorious self and kicking butt and taking roses instead of names. :)

    <3 SaraKate · Mar 2, 02:37 PM · #

  180. What I love most about myself is how when everytime I got a ‘slap’ (or sometimes a ‘punch’) from life, (*)I(*) was there to pick myself up.
    Not my family, friends, nor my boyfriend.
    They would help me mend, and I love them for that.
    But it’s always been me.
    Picking myself up, dusting of the dust and starting the mending.
    Years went by before I understood how strong I was.
    And how I must love me.
    Broken several times, then glued together but still full of life.
    Full of love.

  181. I love that no matter how hard my life keeps getting I still get up in the morning and can give people a smile. I love that I’m not a quitter when everyone expects me to fall down! I love that I can still crack a joke even in the hardest of situations. I love that I’m my mother beam of light when she needs it most. I love that one day this whole experience will leave me strong enough to change the world! (and I love that I get up early with a cup of coffee to go on galadarling.com…addict xD)

  182. And getting asked what I loved most about myself made me realize that I’m so, so far away from being able to say that I love myself. I practically haven’t even started this project properly, despite having already written two entries in my blog. I didn’t give this project all my heart and soul. Gosh, that makes me sad right now. I want to be like you and not live the tiring, saddening life I live right now. But not that my life is bad, it’s me. Going to school might be tiring sometimes but it’s the way I deal with it.
    I am so freaking afraid of nearly everything in my life that it makes me want to cry.

    But, writing this text, I have realized how I love my ability to speak English. You’ll have to start somewhere, I guess.
    I think I’ll move the RSL project to my Livejournal because that feels more personal and more real. I’ll post the link to that sometime.
    Still don’t want to enter, though. ^^

    And I wanted to say: Please don’t ever stop doing RSL. And if you only ask us to write about our experiences with RSL during that week or something. I need you, you’re like my therapist. Ha, that’s really selfish, I’m sorry. But it is about SELF love, isn’t it? ;)

    xoxo

  183. What do I love about myself?

    ● I laugh at the jokes no one else will, to keep everyone from feeling awkward.
    ● Instead of saying “yum” or “this is good” while eating, I make little happy noises – it’s like a reflex, I can’t help it!!
    ● I have club thumbs, and no, it doesn’t make texting hard. (;
    ● When I give someone a hug, it’s like nothing else in the world matters but how warm and happy the hug is. I have been told I give very nice hugs.
    ● I have a freckle inside the corner of my left eye, and everyone thinks it’s eyeliner.
    ● I have the ability to make even my grumpiest friends laugh when they’re having a bad day. Even if they’re just laughing at how weird and silly I am.
    ● I love to smile at random stone-faced or sad-looking strangers when I’m out with friends or running errands. It’s the best feeling ever when they see you and smile back.
    ● I understand the merits of being selfish, like Radical Self Love. It’s good to help other people, but putting yourself first isn’t always a bad thing, either. It’s key to a happy, healthy life. I’m learning that more and more through this blog, myself, and observing other people. So, the number one thing I love about myself is:
    ● I have the ability to learn, grow, and be happy. And I LOVE knowing this!

    Wow, that all felt pretty awesome to type out. (:

  184. My ability to know when I’m not taking care of myself.

    <3 Ru · Mar 2, 02:54 PM · #

  185. im not really in it for the pendant, but I just want to say what I love about myself is, always finding the ground to get back up no matter how many times life pushes me down. And I am still amazed of what I’ve gone pass and moved on towards. I am standing, and I am breathing, and I am alive. I am Always looking to move forward and having faith that things will be a real life fairy tale for me. :)

    <3 maz · Mar 2, 02:56 PM · #

  186. Awesome, I think your blog hates me. ^^
    I had actually written more, which was about me not wanting to enter and the fact that reading all these comments is great.

    <3 Vanessa (: · Mar 2, 02:59 PM · #

  187. Oooooh!! What I love about myself is my ability to rock the fuck out in my car while driving anywhere. Do people see me? Who cares!! Do I sound good? Doubt it!! Do I know the words? Well … But does it feel good? Yes! I love that personal therapy, one NOFX song at a time. ;)

    <3 MaDonna · Mar 2, 03:05 PM · #

  188. The thing I love most about myself would be my determination – the fire that is in my eyes when I want to fight for something I believe in. :)

    <3 Jacklyn · Mar 2, 03:05 PM · #

  189. My favorite thing about myself is my ability to always laugh at myself or find humor in every situation. Laughter is a very important part of my life and I just love love love to laugh.

    <3 Victoria · Mar 2, 03:06 PM · #

  190. I love myself because I know deep down, that I am capable of loving others. In a world that wants to be convinced of its individuality, I love that I can be happy for those around me. I love that my friends are pursuing their goals and reaching beyond themselves, challenging what they know already to be capable of, I love that they phone me, I listen, and am quiet and I hear my inner voice say, “Go for it, woman!”, “Achieve, and we all achieve with you!”

    Win with love and we all win, I love that I know this, and that I am each day given the opportunity to practice it…...“Bring It On!!”, I say.

    <3 naleigh · Mar 2, 03:08 PM · #

  191. My favorite thing about myself is my positive outlook and strength! It took other people telling me that my confidence and strength were an inspiration to them for me to really recognize it, but once I did, I realized how truly awesome I am. I try to approach everything with a positive spirit and greet every person with a smile. :)

    <3 Anika · Mar 2, 03:11 PM · #

  192. I love my black sense of humor and the way i write :)

    <3 María · Mar 2, 03:13 PM · #

  193. I love me. I love every person I’ve been and the person I’m going to become. I love every step of my journey because it has made me who I am. I love my experiences and I don’t mind the baby wrinkles coming in around my eyes – because they tell a story of a journey I’ve been on my entire life.

    <3 birdie · Mar 2, 03:17 PM · #

  194. I’d like to say two things I love about myself, one thing about my appearance and one thing about my personality. (I couldn’t decide on just one.)

    First: My eyes. They are a unique very light blue/grey shade that runs in my family. I’m from a small town and people there are able to tell what family I belong to based on the color of my eyes.

    Second: The way I approach everything in life with an open mind. I do not make judgments before having experience something for myself. I think this allows me to not hold back when it comes to trying new things.

    <3 Sarah · Mar 2, 03:20 PM · #

  195. Everything?
    I might not always like everything. But I do love it. ‘Cause it’s what makes me who I am.

    <3 Lola · Mar 2, 03:20 PM · #

  196. My eyes are my favorite part!

    <3 L · Mar 2, 03:21 PM · #

  197. I love the way I unfold and evolve every day towards my unique, authentic Self.

    <3 Annamarie · Mar 2, 03:22 PM · #

  198. i am probably one of your younger readers but oh well :P i like that i don’t think the world is everything it seems. I have learned to like people i never thought would like me or i would like them back. I like my eyes, my plans for the future and chcocolate. I love my friends and family even though they are a massive pain sometimes. :D I found reading with your posts that if i am not ashamed of what i like then i am much happier with myself :) your posts have helped me a great deal x thank you xx

    <3 robyn · Mar 2, 03:22 PM · #

  199. I really feel like the thing I love most about myself is the way that I unconsciously manage to attract the best people to me. I don’t have a single friend I don’t adore, and I feel like the vast majority of attention I get comes from people that I either love or honestly want to know better. Something about my personality, skills, appearance, and demeanor just attracts exactly the right people, which is absolutely amazing. I must be doing something right! It’s a good reason to love what I’m doing and not to change myself… as if I needed a justification!

    <3 Jaye · Mar 2, 03:26 PM · #

  200. The necklace is beautiful!

    What I love most about myself? My ability to listen. I am quite introverted and I tend to observe more than speak. People say I’m too quiet and all that, but it’s something I hold in high regard.

    <3 Melissa · Mar 2, 03:27 PM · #

  201. you’ve got me wondering who else lost their totems… ;)

    what i love most about myself is my ability to cut straight through the b.s. and tell it like it is. this tends to get me in trouble at times, but ironically it is also what people like about me… i also like that i’m totally content being alone, and doing stuff on my own. it makes me feel powerful (...because i am!).

    p.s. i am loving all these comments, esp. rachel’s (#183) – this is so true: “I love to smile at random stone-faced or sad-looking strangers when I’m out with friends or running errands. It’s the best feeling ever when they see you and smile back.”

    p.p.s. please don’t count me in the giveaway either – thanks!

    <3 tiffany · Mar 2, 03:32 PM · #

  202. What i love most about myself is how compassionate i am. I love helping people with their problems and just listening. I love that i am a real woman!

    <3 Briar · Mar 2, 03:32 PM · #

  203. I love it! My favorite thing about myself is my ability to optimistic about most everything (when I set my mind to it).

    <3 Sage · Mar 2, 03:35 PM · #

  204. i love my curiosity.
    i always want to know more about everything.

    but sometimes, it makes me stay in front of my computer to read about different things a little too much time !

    <3 Sandy · Mar 2, 03:37 PM · #

  205. What I love most about myself is my cuddliness! I’m not usually very good with words, so when someone is feeling down, it’s nice to still be able to comfort them. Plus people like hugging me. Win-win situations!

    <3 Jessica · Mar 2, 03:41 PM · #

  206. Let’s see… What I love most about myself… I love my optimism in life. No matter what people say I instantly jump to the positive side and try to figure how a bad situation can turn good or can be fixed. I try my very hardest to stay as positive as possible!
    Yay being optimistic!

    <3 Lilly · Mar 2, 03:47 PM · #

  207. I love my exuberance and my desire to make the people around me as happy as possible. Whenever someone is sick or sad or just not having a great day, I see it as my personal mission to make things better. I love that I’m able to open up to people like that, despite all that I’ve gone through, and to share my love with the people in my life.

    <3 Anna · Mar 2, 03:52 PM · #

  208. Hummmm, I love that I’m still a child.
    It’s so strange to watch people grow up around me and get more and more jaded as they go.
    I’m glad I’ve retained my wonder and imagination.

    <3 Petra · Mar 2, 03:53 PM · #

  209. my favorite thing about myself is my conviction. if i believe in something, or if i have a desire to do something, i don’t let anyone stop me or tell me i’m wrong. i guess this could also be referred to as self-confidence depending on the situation!

    <3 confessions of a marc addict. · Mar 2, 03:55 PM · #

  210. I love that I am alive; I love that at this moment my fingers are tapping on a keyboard; I love that the past holds experiences and moments that define me, have tested me, have made me who I am today. I love the past’s many gifts: my 2 children, my cancer, my cancer treatment, my ex-husband’s addictions. Without my life’s experiences I would not be here now. Tapping on a keyboard. Resilient. Writing. Alive.

    <3 Veronica · Mar 2, 03:57 PM · #

  211. My favourite thing about myself is probably my stubborn-ness.

    <3 Sarah · Mar 2, 03:59 PM · #

  212. I love that dark flash in my eyes when I get angry. It’s sexy.

    <3 powernap · Mar 2, 04:10 PM · #

  213. I love my ability to make people laugh. Knowing that I am making other people happy makes me happy. Especially when they are going through a hard time and I can take them away from that feeling, if only for a moment. Making others happy is what I live for. Knowing that I was the one that put that smile on someones face always makes my day.

    <3 Nicole Marie · Mar 2, 04:11 PM · #

  214. My favorite thing about myself is the way I sometimes just suck it up and do it! being someone who had never sang in front of anyone but my car, I now sing and dance in front of 350 people every day for my job. I love it. Sometimes you will excel at something you never though possible, if you just try. Being on stage has made me a more confident woman.

    <3 sara · Mar 2, 04:12 PM · #

  215. I love my ears, my hands, my voice, my eyes, my starsign, my nails, my hips, my hair, my wrists, my feet, my enthusiasm and my outright SEXINESS!

    (And I maintain that I have the prettiest ears and hands ever!!)

    <3 Tegan Francesca · Mar 2, 04:14 PM · #

  216. I love my love of strangers. I’ll strike up a conversation with someone I don’t know and leave feeling a little more connected to the world. (Although once I was dared to lick a stranger and did so… that perhaps got me too close to them. But it was only the hand and they thought it was hilarious.)

    <3 Liss · Mar 2, 04:19 PM · #

  217. I love my ability to remember my dreams! I like to be able to have a connection with my crazy, subconscious mind! :}

    <3 Laura · Mar 2, 04:23 PM · #

  218. I love my smile, my eyes… my face in general, and how it perfectly reflects the nice and cute girl that I am. :D I found out just about now!

    <3 Brigitte · Mar 2, 04:31 PM · #

  219. I love my hands. My very tiny yet strong hands have crafted so many paintings and articles of clothing. I love having the ability to thread the tiniest needle and paint in an unwavering line. My hands are an extension of my mind, and for that I love them very much.

    <3 Willow · Mar 2, 04:32 PM · #

  220. My favorite thing about myself is my genuine positivity. I always try to be a positive person and an optimist. I realized a long time ago that not everyone is like me and that quality or attitude has gotten me to a great place in my life. It is really important to me to have a good attitude and a positive outlook because I believe with all my heart that it is contagious.

    GALA you are awesome!!!

    Tricia

    <3 Tricia · Mar 2, 04:32 PM · #

  221. I love my eyes!

    <3 Midnight Cowgirl · Mar 2, 04:32 PM · #

  222. ican always make people feel better,whether making them laugh or saying the right thing.

    <3 leanna · Mar 2, 04:37 PM · #

  223. i hope i win…yay!

    <3 Shandi · Mar 2, 04:39 PM · #

  224. My favourite thing: I have less fingers than most people and I have never thought of myself as disabled, just physically unique.

    <3 Jonnieette · Mar 2, 04:42 PM · #

  225. I love my eyes and my weird sense of humor!

    <3 Brittany · Mar 2, 04:46 PM · #

  226. What I love about myself is my ability to have fun no matter where I go. Even when my friends and I are broke, have no ride, and absolutely nothing to do; I come up with something that may seem totally stupid but ends up being totally fun. I’ve always been that way even as a little kid when I played imagination games with my friends. My friends and I make a good time.

    <3 Meghan · Mar 2, 04:47 PM · #

  227. I love that I want to see my body as a work of art. Just like the Greeks, I use myself in tasteful ways to express my indiviuality and who I am today. By no means do I have the shape or fabulous features, but since when is art perfection?

    <3 rocketteer · Mar 2, 04:55 PM · #

  228. This is SUCH a tough one because I’ve come to love everything about myself!

    One thing is my body shape. Imperfect though it may be, it distributes weight evenly throughout so it looks great all the time — even better naked!!
    I also love my capacity to love and appreciate, and the good feelings I spread to people around me.

    <3 Holly F · Mar 2, 05:06 PM · #

  229. i love my big, curvy butt! (and so do the boys!)

    <3 luna · Mar 2, 05:09 PM · #

  230. My favorite thing physically is My hair its naturally red so i get lots of compliments also it makes me feel unique because its so rare. My favorite thing emotionally is that i cant hate someone or somthing no matter how hard i try and i always try to see the good and i always see the beauty in someone even if they dont see it themselfs. :)

    <3 Elle · Mar 2, 05:24 PM · #

  231. My favorite thing about myself is my brain mixed with my sense of style. I was just sitting in the library studying, lounged across 2 chairs. The next thought that enters my mind is that I should be photographed because I make studying look stylish, sophisticated and sexy. The fact that I can make myself laugh out loud and think so positively about myself is the best thing I could ever want in life!!!
    Thanks for inspiring me with #radicalselflove, Gala!

    <3 ellebelle · Mar 2, 05:25 PM · #

  232. Ooooh. What I love most about myself is my accurate gut feeling about people. I’m good at sensing people, knowing what they’re like, what are their strenghts and weaknesses, making matches. And I love that!

    <3 Miss Sofia · Mar 2, 05:29 PM · #

  233. My favorite thing about myself would have to be that even though I had a weird childhood full of different adversities, I have a great sense of humour, and can still take refuge in the art of comedy!!! It would be easy for me to be miserable and make the people around me miserable, so I’m very happy that I’m able to turn that around, and make people laugh instead!

    <3 Tia · Mar 2, 05:29 PM · #

  234. I love this about myself: I love others fully and passionately and that makes me feel alive!

    <3 liz · Mar 2, 05:30 PM · #

  235. I like the way I don’t judge people, and with that I am being more and more social. I am finding out about some awesome people too! I don’t really love my outside but I try to be as honest as I can!

    <3 Ashley · Mar 2, 05:41 PM · #

  236. what i love most about my physical appearance are my eyes. they are two big blue saucers that express my emotions and complement my face very well :)

    emotionally speaking, i am a very optimistic person and try to observe the world as much as i can. the doctors said that i might lose my eyesight by the time i’m 30, so i try to see and absorb as much of the world as i can, i’m good to go!! haha <3 gia greene · Mar 2, 06:03 PM · #

  237. My favorite thing about myself is my compassion. I’ve always strived to be a good person for the right reason and I can’t seem to turn this urge off, which is a good thing.

    <3 Emma Drummond · Mar 2, 06:12 PM · #

  238. what i love most about myself is my big crooked smile :D

    <3 Michelle · Mar 2, 06:32 PM · #

  239. What do I love about myself? I love my humor, my creativity, my imagination, my ability to love and care so deeply, my long eyelashes, my breasts, my legs, and my naturally ruby red lips!!!!!!

    <3 Charlotte · Mar 2, 06:35 PM · #

  240. what i love the most about myself is the ability to keep going.

    <3 PattyAnn · Mar 2, 06:47 PM · #

  241. i love my big butt! some people say that you should be small everywhere, but i just can’t bring myself to believe it. it gives me attitude ;)
    i also love my big eyes and my crooked smile.
    that necklace is absolutely GORGEOUS, and i’m now heavily lusting after it. can i enter more than once??
    xoxo, erin.

    <3 erin · Mar 2, 06:51 PM · #

  242. Not usually my style but it’s good to change things up a bit, yeah ?
    The thing I love most about myself is my easy ability to laugh. It makes life easier and more enjoyable, especially when I can get others to laugh with me.

    <3 Sally · Mar 2, 06:55 PM · #

  243. The thing I love best about myself is my ability to give great advice, it not only helps me look at my issues objectively but it also helps others cope with theirs. I also love it the best out of all my qualities because no matter how I change on the outside I will always have that wisdom and insight on the inside that can manifest itself on the outside.

    <3 Brooklyn · Mar 2, 06:56 PM · #

  244. I love the way I write when I travel. It makes me want to pull out my passport and share my alphabet soup of impressions from the road.

    <3 Rochelle · Mar 2, 06:59 PM · #

  245. I love that I love to read and Learn new things constantly. Wikipedia and the Library are my best friends. I read a new book every week, classics through to new bestsellers and I lose myself, then come back to the world refreshed.

    <3 Tara · Mar 2, 07:01 PM · #

  246. My favorite thing about myself is my ability to stay positive even when things get bad and my ability to not sweat the small stuff.

    <3 Kelsey · Mar 2, 07:03 PM · #

  247. I love how positive I am. Even though there are things I hate (not about myself, though!), I can still find the good in everything. It just comes naturally. It’s a way better attitude than sitting around angry at the world and sad about my life. No thanks!

    <3 Trisha · Mar 2, 07:04 PM · #

  248. My face expressions. When I’m famous, paparazzi will have a field day.

    <3 Yukino · Mar 2, 07:04 PM · #

  249. I love that I’m able to make myself laugh, even when I’m really upset. I see the lighter or ironic side of the situation & sometimes burst into giggles when I’ve just been crying my eyes out. No matter what I’m sad about, I can always find some glimmer of humor & hope within it.

    <3 Kate Sloan · Mar 2, 07:07 PM · #

  250. I Looooveeeee my spots I have one on each hand… in my left hand its on the base of my thumb and on my right its on the palm, ive got one in the start of my nose, always made me feel like I came from India… and recently I got a new one on my top lip and I love it soo very much, it attracts attention to my small mouth!

    <3 Rose · Mar 2, 07:08 PM · #

  251. I love that I can make bold decisions without needing approval and then stick to my resolutions in the face of opposition- like going vegetarian, going abroad to be an au pair, and finding a new faith.

    <3 Jena · Mar 2, 07:09 PM · #

  252. I love my smile the most. I have the weirdest smile that make people laugh and I love seeing people laugh.

    I get squinty eyes in the beginning when my cheeks are puffing up and then all my teeth show. Since I have tiny lips, my teeth look like they’re all trying to crowd out.

    Personally, I think I look cute when I smile; that’s why I love it so much.

    <3 Alvi · Mar 2, 07:15 PM · #

  253. What do I love most? I love that I’m finally starting to love myself. I love that I can now look in them mirror and think “hey, i look great today.”
    I love loving me.

    <3 Beth · Mar 2, 07:19 PM · #

  254. The thing I love most about myself… is that I have recently promised to love myself. And damn, it feels good. :)

    <3 Liz · Mar 2, 07:21 PM · #

  255. My favourite thing about myself is my my green eyes

    <3 Katie · Mar 2, 07:32 PM · #

  256. The thing I love most about myself is my willingness to grow and change – my ability to work on myself is something I’ve had to grow into and I really am starting to love it.

    <3 Tara Melissa · Mar 2, 07:33 PM · #

  257. I love my lame jokes. Seriously, they are bad. Other people may not think they are funny, but I can always crack myself up. ALWAYS.

    <3 Caitlin · Mar 2, 07:34 PM · #

  258. I love how truly passionate I am about what I do, and how I feel proud of myself for my dedication to it.

    <3 Jen · Mar 2, 07:39 PM · #

  259. What I love most about myself are my eyes. They are identical to my grandmother’s and long after she’s gone I’ll be able to look in the mirror and see part of her, in me.

    <3 Alana · Mar 2, 07:40 PM · #

  260. I love my long finger nails:)
    I finally stopped biting them this year!!

    <3 Noel · Mar 2, 07:47 PM · #

  261. Enter me please :)
    Thing I love most about myself is that I know that no matter how tough and heartbreaking I can find life, I know that I will never ever ever give up.
    Love your site, thanks Gala!

    <3 TJ · Mar 2, 07:52 PM · #

  262. I love my teeth the most. They are not perfectly straight and i love them that way. Everyone used to ask me why I never got braces or when I’m going to get them. But i love them very much just the way they are!

    <3 Desirea · Mar 2, 07:53 PM · #

  263. I love my ability to question – my ability to connect with total strangers and suddenly become the closest of friends. I love that I stick up for other people, even those I barely know, because others’ self-love sometimes needs a little boost. I love connecting with others through writing. And I love my dreams. I love that I can make my dreams come true.

    <3 Laura · Mar 2, 08:02 PM · #

  264. I love my ability to forgive, but never forget—and learn.

    And I love YOUR ability to love yourself and everyone around you! This is such a great idea.

    <3 Kaycee · Mar 2, 08:10 PM · #

  265. The thing I love most about myself is how cute I am. I may not be cute to the rest of the world, but I think that I am and that’s what matters. I love that I am strong enough now to tell myself I’m cute and not feel arrogant and like I’m telling a lie. And I love my artistic urges =] they lead me to wonderful places like this.

    <3 Kristen · Mar 2, 08:11 PM · #

  266. My favorite thing about myself is my empathy. I drop myself inside people and see the world through their eyes. It makes me an incredible listener and an impossible person to get into a fight with, because I see everything from your side. It also makes me a total wuss, but I love that, too!

    <3 Steff Metal · Mar 2, 08:13 PM · #

  267. I love how strangers and classmates find my resposes to anything I say funny even though it’s just how I see the world!

    and my boobs. oh I love my boobs.

  268. I love my big green eyes and using them to see all of the beauty in the world. (A bit hokey, but I’m good with that!)

    <3 Stephanie · Mar 2, 08:14 PM · #

  269. I love my creativity and how I can create pretty things from nothing.

    <3 S · Mar 2, 08:21 PM · #

  270. my compassion thanks for the giveaway

    <3 mindy · Mar 2, 08:25 PM · #

  271. I love my buddha belly. No matter how much I work out, it doesn’t go away, but I think it’s cute and unique.

    This blog is a daily inspiration, and I need it. Keep up the good work!

    <3 MK · Mar 2, 08:29 PM · #

  272. Gorgeous!!

    My favorite thing about myself is my hair. I always get complimented and asked about who colors it… but it’s completely natural! It makes me feel good when hair stylists examine it for highlight ideas. :)

    <3 Kelly · Mar 2, 08:35 PM · #

  273. I love my killer sense of humor! I can make anyone I meet laugh, and I love to be able to make people laugh and enjoy themselves.

    <3 Rae · Mar 2, 08:43 PM · #

  274. I spent the entire afternoon thinking about this and while there are a lot of things that I love about myself I think that my current favourite thing is my very strong intuition.

    I used to be a bit of a people pleaser which landed me in some not so positive situations. I’ve recently learned to look inward for guidance and my life has taken an incredible turn for the better.

    <3 Kirstin · Mar 2, 08:50 PM · #

  275. I HAVE THIS NECKLACE AND HAVE BEEN USING IT AS MY TOTEM. My father bought one for my mother and I about 5 years ago while we were living 40km from Venice. After reading your first Radical Self-Love article I thought, “I have just the perfect thing for this…” I went searching for it and it didn’t turn up until randomly one day, though I thought I must have completely misplaced (lost) it. After reading your article just now I ran to my suitcase to see if I packed it in with my jewelry, and again almost gave up, when I saw its shimmering beauty shining up from underneath my ‘business accessories’. Such an auspicious sign!

    <3 Megan · Mar 2, 08:54 PM · #

  276. I love my nose. Like, I am completely enamored with it. I would write a love letter to it if I had the time. It’s so awkwardly shaped and different from what’s typically considered ideal. The bridge is stubbornly arched, and the tip is kinda round and bulbousy. It’s so unique and unyielding, and I hope that some day the rest of me will catch up be just as one-of-a-kind.

    <3 Hyena · Mar 2, 08:55 PM · #

  277. Wow, what a great RSL totem that would be!
    Hmmm…what do I happen to love most about myself?
    Without a doubt, my sense of humor and sense of self.

    For instance, on the A train this past week, I was wearing these new boots that unfortunately were not designed to withstand the morning rush hour and I achingly wanted a seat. So fortunately, one opened up at the next stop, but it was between these two buff men. So I squiggled in and apparently upset one of them, and he said some vulgar things to me concerning my weight. Now I’m a curvy girl, and that’s damn fine with me, so I muttered a funny retort poking fun at him and myself in the process, making everyone near me and myself laugh. A couple stops later, the rude man walks out, and this lovely elderly lady comes up to me and congradulates me warmly for not letting the jerk’s comments get to me. I almost had tears in my eyes as I realized how proud of myself I felt, that I didn’t let myself become fazed, something that the old Cristal would’ve done.

    Ohh, sorry for the long post. I just wanted to share how I managed to grow and accept myself, and that everyone should and CAN too!

    <3 Cristal · Mar 2, 08:56 PM · #

  278. What I love the most about myself is being crazy enough to believe and follow my dreams!!

    <3 Pelouse · Mar 2, 09:27 PM · #

  279. I love my eyes.
    They’re big and expressive and change colors.
    They’re very reliable b/c they tend to change colors to what I’m wearing.

    Oh, and they look cute in glasses :-)

    <3 Laura · Mar 2, 09:36 PM · #

  280. I love that I am so completely unwilling to accept anything as impossible. I strive daily for more than others expect.

    <3 constance · Mar 2, 09:39 PM · #

  281. Wow, that necklace is wonderful.

    I love my quirky nature, sence of humor and wit. I can make anyone I meet laugh and feel good about themselves. I love seeing people smile through what I say, it just makes me happy. and happy to be me.

    <3 Jess · Mar 2, 09:41 PM · #

  282. I love the hair my mother gave me. And my hands.
    I love the way I’m constantly falling in and out of ‘like’ with someone and the way I lament that (but relish in the feeling all the same).

    <3 Cassandra · Mar 2, 09:43 PM · #

  283. I love my uncanny ability to acheive everything and anything I want to. I love that my self confidence has grown ten-fold over the past few years from almost nothing…and it’s always the first thing people notice about me now :) I love that I am able to be this way without seeming concieted and show-offy like a lot of confident women and girls do. I love to “shine it all around” and make everyone feel special and beautiful…even if they are missing teeth.

    <3 Gootis · Mar 2, 09:44 PM · #

  284. Hmm.. I love my persistence and devotion to my beliefs; I love the fact that my opinions are my own and no one can take them from me. I also love the fact that I’m independent and I want the people I love, I don’t need them. As for external qualities I love, I love my eyes and I love my hair :)

    <3 Victoria · Mar 2, 09:51 PM · #

  285. What I love about me is everything, because just like each of you, I am beautiful and unique!

    <3 Emily · Mar 2, 09:56 PM · #

  286. The thing I love the most is my relationship with my teenage sons. They have always been very open with me and I have supported anything they’ve wanted to try, whether it be a new sport or some other activity.

    <3 Sandra K321 · Mar 2, 09:58 PM · #

  287. I love my open-minded perspective on the world. I love how I’m able to look at every situation from all angles and understand different viewpoints without judging any one. It’s so refreshing. I love how I’ve been able to make many strangers’ days better. I’m not the most exciting or most accomplished person you’ll ever meet, but I love the unique sort of joy I bring to people around me. I love the person that I am.

    <3 Catherine · Mar 2, 09:58 PM · #

  288. my love my goofy dances :)

    <3 Carly · Mar 2, 10:01 PM · #

  289. I love my mind, how I think… I rarely stress myself out and random thoughts always pop into my head that make me smile or laugh… I must look a bit mad but at least I’m happy!

    <3 Lisa May · Mar 2, 10:02 PM · #

  290. What I love most about myself is my eyes. I believe that if you look into someone’s eyes, you can tell so much about them without even having to exchange words.

    If you look into my eyes, you’ll see that they’re darkened with wisdom, bright with hope for the future, & outlined with a deep green; symbolizing how well-rounded I’ve become throughout the time I’ve spent learning about life & myself. I like to think that the green/hazel sunburst around my pupil stands for the sun outside, always rising & setting … but always coming up out on top (of the world !) =] <3 Kimberly · Mar 2, 10:31 PM · #

  291. I love my smile and my eyes. I can light up a room and it makes me happy.

    <3 Samantha · Mar 2, 10:38 PM · #

  292. I love that I always try and face my fears. Even if I don’t get over them, I’m one step closer. I love that I smile a lot, even though people always ask me why I’m so happy. I love that when I really laugh, I clap and throw my head back. I love that my face is very expressive. I love that I don’t ever get bored, because even if there’s nothing to do or no one around, I find ways to amuse myself.

    <3 Ady · Mar 2, 10:39 PM · #

  293. my gypsy eyes

    <3 kate · Mar 2, 11:00 PM · #

  294. Now that I know how to enter this lovely contest ;)

    The thing I love most about myself is my capacity for strength in difficult times. I backpacked Europe on my own for three weeks last July, and it was the single hardest but most rewarding experience of my life.

    <3 Rebecca · Mar 2, 11:05 PM · #

  295. i love my sense of humor :D

    <3 steph · Mar 2, 11:16 PM · #

  296. I love my laugh, its loud and weird and it always surprises people when they hear it!!

    <3 MissMeryl · Mar 2, 11:21 PM · #

  297. I love how resilient I have proven to be in the past year. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder for the past 6 years and began treatment last february. It was the hardest and the best thing I have ever done, and it proved to me how much I can over come. Now I know I am beautiful no matter how I look :)

    <3 Michelle · Mar 2, 11:29 PM · #

  298. I love my curves. I’m a tiny girl on the thinner side— but I’ve struggled with eating disorders in the past. I have fallen in love with how feminine my body is as I’ve gotten older & I love eating delicious, good for me food to fuel both it & my gorgeous curves!

    <3 Ayesha · Mar 2, 11:36 PM · #

  299. My favorite thing about myself is my ability to go into any situation and make people feel comfortable, included and welcomed. I used to be incredibly shy, and through the years, I’ve overcome that and have become comfortable and happy with who I am. Now I find myself reaching out and trying to make others feel the same way.

    <3 Elissa · Mar 2, 11:43 PM · #

  300. I love my mostly unprejudiced view of people. I make friends with the old,young, theater/sports/writer, the well off and not so well off, the cashier, the librarians, random people at random events, all races, all religions, I can be comfortable around all sorts of people, which makes them comfortable, and it’s just…awesome. :)

    <3 Vix · Mar 2, 11:57 PM · #

  301. I love my hands… I express so much with them, and I can hug people, look after them, wave them in the air crazily… and so much more :D

    <3 Jessi · Mar 2, 11:59 PM · #

  302. This is going to sound trivial (and be very long) because it’s just a physical aspect of myself but my favorite thing about me is my dimple. I only have one — it’s on my right cheek — and I used to be really insecure about it because people would always point it out and make comments about how “cute” it is or they would touch it and it always seemed like they were making fun of me for it. I was so insecure I even thought about getting my cheeks pierced for a short while so that I would get a dimple on my other cheek. But now I’ve learned that it’s just another one of my quirks and should be celebrated along with my mismatched eyebrows and loud laugh that sounds more like a cackle if you say something funny that catches me off guard :-)

    <3 Lauren · Mar 3, 12:06 AM · #

  303. My favourite thing about me is my spontaneous outbursts of poetry.

    Quite often, in the middle of a conversation, I will burst into some random beat poetry, and finish with a giant flourish of a bow, just because life is so wonderful that I have to express it to the world!

    <3 Lou · Mar 3, 12:12 AM · #

  304. I love my nose, and my ability to learn languages quickly and well!

    <3 emily · Mar 3, 12:15 AM · #

  305. I am a loyal and true friend. I am great at keeping secrets and always honest. I am a great person and try to be my best everyday

    <3 Eva D · Mar 3, 12:34 AM · #

  306. I think what I love most is that I’ve actually grown a reputation for being incredibly nice. I had someone approach me, a distant friend of a friend I guess, who had heard about me, heard I was such a positive person and never said a bad thing about anyone. Ive never been so proud! Thats the person I want to be and I’m glad people can see that about me.

    <3 Rachel · Mar 3, 12:48 AM · #

  307. I love that I always try to balance self-growth with self-acceptance.

    <3 plee · Mar 3, 12:49 AM · #

  308. Oh I can completely relate to Vanessa up there, just writing the phrase ‘what I love about myself most is….’ just makes me stare at it with no thoughts really as to what it could relate to. I’ve finally come up with: I will always be myself no matter what anyone thinks, this doesn’t really regard appearance at this stage (still something I’m battling it out with, I’m getting there) but I’ll say what I want to say in every situation. People think I’m ‘weird’ generally but I don’t really care about that, it’s a positive thing in my mind.

    Seeing all these incredibly positive comments just shows me that one day if someone asks me what I like about myself I’ll be able to rattle off a long list instead of barely coming up with one. And I guess that’s why you’re doing this! Thankyou!

    <3 Sara · Mar 3, 12:51 AM · #

  309. I love that I’m completely unashamed of my supposed guilty pleasures. I totally love 80s hair metal and cheesy TV shows and eye-catching jewelry and wearing as many colors as you’d normally find in a box of crayons — and I’m not afraid to admit it!

    <3 Jessica · Mar 3, 12:54 AM · #

  310. I love my bone structure and the feel of my skin…especially after I have exfoliated.

    <3 Meagan · Mar 3, 12:58 AM · #

  311. I love how open I am to everything that I interact with and how I am willing to learn from anyone and anything even if it is just a recalled lesson.

    <3 Meg · Mar 3, 01:01 AM · #

  312. I love that I am so fiercely loyal.

    I also have fantastic feet, no joke.

    <3 Sam · Mar 3, 01:08 AM · #

  313. My heart. It’s big and it is in the right place. It loves me! And treats me gently when I stuff up, with the best of intentions….which means I can be more tolerant with other people too :-)

    <3 karen · Mar 3, 01:11 AM · #

  314. My biggest asset is definitely the romantic way I perceive the world; every cute boy is a prince in disguise, every full moon is creating werewolves, and every flower has a demi-fey to tend to it.

    <3 Greer · Mar 3, 01:36 AM · #

  315. absolutely everything.

    <3 meghan · Mar 3, 01:50 AM · #

  316. I celebrate how unique I am, I try to keep my bedroom in good order so I feel happy :) I also try to make my own clothes as it makes me feel amazing about my skills and who I am and therefore I love how unique I am!

    <3 Kiana · Mar 3, 01:57 AM · #

  317. The thing I love most about myself is my lips. For years I hated them, worried about how they looked, pushed them out unconsciously. This was do mostly to my older sisters constant comments and jokes about my lips. But after reading your blog, and a few rounds of EFT, I have realized that my lips are my favorite thing about myself. They are relatively thin and cupid bowed but they are amazing and beautiful, and as my friend Judith once told me “They are a big part of [my] Jerika-ness”. So I love and thank my lips because they are a part of me :]

    <3 Jerika · Mar 3, 02:04 AM · #

  318. When I was teenager, I was ashamed of my mind and things it was capable of doing. Like, you know, smart girls were NOT popular back then, so I did everything to conceal it.
    Now I am in my 3rd year in university and I can’t begin to say how much I love my intellectual mind. It is very weird, actually, I have tried to pretend to be avarage, but now I am proud to say out loud that I am, in fact, smart.

    I feel so blessed and as if this gift was given to me for some purpose; so now I am finally grateful as I should have been from the very beginning.

    Love yourself & above all your inner world, because nothing is more beautiful and produces more light in the world than a single, precious thought in your head!

    <3 Ria · Mar 3, 02:23 AM · #

  319. The thing I love most about myself is my imagination. I’m prone to wild flights of fancy and love to come up with new ways to dress, do my hair and makeup, present content on my blog, hang out with my friends, tell my boyfriend he’s awesome and so much more. I’m very creative and I think I have my vivid imagination to thank for keeping me inspired and getting me out of so many sticky situations.

    <3 nessbow · Mar 3, 02:30 AM · #

  320. what a beautiful pendant!

    My favorite thing about myself is my smile, and my ability to make others smile :)

    <3 Katy Lin · Mar 3, 02:43 AM · #

  321. The thing I love most about myself is my hopefulness. My faith in good things and good people.

    <3 Lillian · Mar 3, 03:21 AM · #

  322. I agree with you Lillian, Hopefulness is help us to get over all difficulties in the life

    <3 Jimmynguyen · Mar 3, 03:35 AM · #

  323. My sense of humor.

    <3 Carol · Mar 3, 03:44 AM · #

  324. The thing I love most about myself is the gap between my front teeth because they look just like my father’s:)

    <3 kallirhoe · Mar 3, 04:02 AM · #

  325. As a small girl my body was taken advantage of. It has taken a TON of learning to allow myself to LOVE myself. To really truly LOVE myself. I worked at a feminist sex store to see how other women dealt with their abuse, I took classes, I worked for a sex worker as a personal assistant and I asked the sex workers how they felt and what their bodies and minds went through – all of this for my own education. To really show myself that even though awful things happen – that people really make it through and they are okay and sometimes they even CHOOSE to live this way. I finally allowed myself to realize that I am SO strong, I am extremely protective of myself (and my body) and I just adore myself for taking such good care. I could be in a much different place right now.

    The thing I love most about myself is that I am strong in so many ways and that I would do ANYTHING to protect myself. I love myself THAT much. Best relationship ever.

    <3 Mandy · Mar 3, 04:13 AM · #

  326. My favourite thing about myself would definitely be my ability to look at things objectively.. While sometimes this is a downer that causes me to seem a little cold on the whole I find it really useful to be able to distance myself a little to be able to find a solution!

    <3 Katie · Mar 3, 04:17 AM · #

  327. I love that I never judge anyone I meet or know. This allows me to create absoloutly amazing bonds with people without even realising it.

    <3 Baby Turpentine · Mar 3, 04:23 AM · #

  328. My radical self love is greatest when I don’t play favourites. When I can look at myself for all that I am, and love all that I am in that moment, I am happy.

    <3 Bryony · Mar 3, 04:47 AM · #

  329. I love my drive for knowledge. I love that I have to research everything I have even the slightest interest in. I love my writing. I love my smile and my sense of humor. I love that I can command the attention of a room of 50 sailors while teaching them English and I love that I am more assertive when speaking Chinese than when speaking English.

    <3 Leep · Mar 3, 04:57 AM · #

  330. I love my scars from silly childhood accidents from the scar that is on my lip that while small just makes me feel good that the one thing i love about myself is also the one thing that holds an imperfection

    <3 Sammm · Mar 3, 06:18 AM · #

  331. I love my one dimple. On my left cheek

    <3 ballerina · Mar 3, 06:18 AM · #

  332. The thing I love most about myself is my ability to be empathetic most of the time and really feel another persons pain as my own and my wicked smile – I have really nice teeth I must admit!

    <3 rush me · Mar 3, 06:50 AM · #

  333. I am in love with my legs; they are long and shapely, and I get to show them off with leggings, super skinny jeans, and giant platform heels. My eyes are a shade of glamorous, deep navy blue, with flecks of a lighter shade; I’ve inherited it from a long line of people with the same exact eye color, and I could not be prouder to have it. Not to mention it’s stunning and complements a million different eye makeup combos—and I love their shape. Also, ever since I’ve started taking birth control last July, my boobs have grown a full cup size—maybe even a bit more. This leaves me with a satisfying 34C on a tiny 5’5” frame, which I absolutely adore. I love that the shape of my face complements huge-frame nerd glasses. I love my natural hair color, which I’ve been hiding since 8th grade (I’m about to graduate high school); I’m naturally a gorgeous dirty blonde. And I love the fact that my hair is recovering from years of torture and returning to the thick mane it once was.
    I love my energy. I can rally a room full of people to get up and go somewhere, do something, be someone, if I’m in the right mindset. I can accomplish anything I want to if I put my mind to it. I love my self-determination; I got myself off of ADD medication as soon as I learned it was causing me crippling social anxiety and a dangerous weight loss problem. I went through a rough withdrawal stage after being on the pills (Concerta) for 3 years, but I made it through, and I am in love with the person I became.

    <3 Liza Paradis · Mar 3, 06:53 AM · #

  334. I love how resilient and strong I am riding the rollercoaster called life.

    <3 Kendall · Mar 3, 07:33 AM · #

    <3 Helen · Mar 3, 07:54 AM · #

  336. I love my creative nature and sense of curiosity, and that I never act my age.

  337. this is so nice, please enter me.

    <3 Susan · Mar 3, 08:51 AM · #

  338. I love my smile and the way I laugh. =)

  339. I love the way I am with my friends and family!

    <3 ss · Mar 3, 09:50 AM · #

  340. I love my ability to truly love myself and others, how strong I can be, and how I inspire strength in those around me.

    <3 Tori · Mar 3, 09:50 AM · #

  341. Maybe it’s not the thing I love the very most about myself— posting that would require a lot of introspection, and I’m busy this morning!— but one thing about me that always makes me smile is the heart-shaped freckle on my thigh. It’s… so… cute!

    <3 Miranda · Mar 3, 10:13 AM · #

  342. I love my creative streak. Would never give it up.

    That and My eyes. :D

    <3 Sarah x · Mar 3, 10:54 AM · #

  343. I love my natural speed-reading ability!

    <3 Jennifer Maslowski · Mar 3, 12:05 PM · #

  344. I LOVE this contest. I have never really felt right about saying “I like this about me”. I always felt conceeded. I love being able to just spill all the things I love about me.

    My eyes: Nobody in my family has my eyes. They are icy blue inside and a dark blue/green on the outside. Everybody always tells me I have the prettiest (blue) eyes (I always argue that they aren’t just blue, but that is more for fun)!

    My hair: It is a nice shade of brown. Not too dark, not too light. It has a strong red base, so if/when i decide to dye my hair, reds show up so nicely. My hair is also naturally very soft. One of my friends is jealous because no matter what she puts into her hair, she can’t ever seem to get it as soft as mine. Also, it is styled like Victoria Beckham, but with side-swept bangs.

    My craft abilities: I am always making/designing something. Sure, it may not look good as a final product. Sure, I might mess up something crucial. I don’t care about that. I see what I did wrong and I learn from it. I have been doing this type of stuff since I was about 5. My mom even started me on sewing when I was 8! I grew up with this and it serious has influenced me and how I think.

    My singing: I have always had a love of singing. All through school, I have been involved with chorus and not too long ago, I took voice lessons. I have seen improvements all along and I LOVE it. In about 2 weeks, I have my first concert since 2006…and this one is entirely SOLO! I’m so pumped!

    I also love me. The package me. If you take away anything (even the parts of me that I am not so in love with), it wouldn’t be completely me. I like the person I am. It has taken quite a while for me to get to this place, but I am finally here and I wouldn’t change it.

    <3 Mag-elicious · Mar 3, 12:21 PM · #

  345. The thing I love most about myself is that I can always cheer up everyone, my friends that know i adore them, and even strangers :D
    I feel like I have a positive force flying off of me because I am always smiling, I love life and I love the world and I love how special I am for being in it <3

    <3 Liisa · Mar 3, 01:04 PM · #

  346. My favorite thing about myself is my acceptance of everyone I meet. I try my best not to judge people or dislike them at first glance, and I forgive people their vices and have an extremely short list of people i actually dislike.

    <3 Dahlia Merlo · Mar 3, 01:10 PM · #

  347. I thought long and hard about my answer to this question.
    For 3 painful years I suffered from social anxiety, so I was unable to go out in public without feeling confident and secure about myself. I had zero self esteem and I learnt to hate my self. Recently, in the past year or so, I have slowly been able to overcome this condition and have gradually learnt to live with my self and my body and learn to accept who I am. The whole time I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it is so refreshing and assuring to safely say that I am well out of the tunnel. The whole process made me realise I am a stronger and more able person for overcoming such an experience. So, what do I love about myself? I love that I can accept who I am.

    <3 Emmeline · Mar 3, 01:16 PM · #

  348. Right now, I most love that my eyebrows are two different shapes! One is flat and the other has an arch, and I love that it makes me look perpetually inquisitive!

    <3 Devon Kelley · Mar 3, 01:55 PM · #

  349. I absolutely l.o.v.e. my eyes! It has a bit of that I-just-woke-up look and a whole lot of big and round dark brown charm and add to that my long lashes. My boyfriend adores it too! He often says, “I love the way your eyes smile Babe”. It makes me all giddy inside and more in love with my eyes… =]

    <3 Tini · Mar 3, 03:40 PM · #

  350. I would have to say that i love my big, curly, poof of hair. Before, I couldn’t stand it! It was frizzy, puffy, and completely out of control. But now I realize that thats just my hair. Its not going to change, so this month, I have embraced that, and I have fallen in love with my big, gorgeous hair!!

    <3 Lila · Mar 3, 03:41 PM · #

  351. My eyes. My friend said they were poop colored but it’s really more like chocolate :)

    <3 Linda · Mar 3, 04:09 PM · #

  352. I love that I learnt to take responsibility for my own actions, words and feelings, and I love that I have fantastic breasts. :)

  353. I love love love my thick hair. I hated it growing up. It always seemed like a hassle, and I got teased because of the crazy frizz. But I’ve grown into it. I’ve learned to tame it, let it go wild, and most of all—to love it. I celebrate my hair love with quirky hair accessories.

    I also love my creepy little alien toes, my bizarre sense of humor, my blend of naivety and pragmatism, my daring, and the birthmark on my left shoulder.

    <3 Christine · Mar 3, 04:24 PM · #

  354. I love my hair! I just got it bleached and cut yesterday, and I am happiest with it right now than I have been in a long time. I’d been putting off spending the money to get it done, but I’m really happy I did, because it’s just the confidence boost I needed. :)

  355. My favorite thing is that I am a good listener and try to have empathy for others. It sounds basic but very few people truly listen to others and really try to understand.

    <3 Heather S · Mar 3, 04:47 PM · #

  356. My favorite thing about myself is my strength. I’ve gotten through a summer without friends, an eating disorder, and losing loved ones. I’ve remained optimistic and come out stronger and more faith filled. I’m still learning and growing, but I’m wholeheartedly in love with the person I’m becoming!

    <3 Alli · Mar 3, 04:59 PM · #

  357. i would love this, i think i have a big enough heart to pull this off :)

  359. Hi :-)
    What do I love most about myself? Hmm… There are definitely plenty of things that I can say about myself that I’m not too fond of. Although I once had self-esteem issues, the discovery of this website has helped – greatly. Before, I couldn’t find anything about myself that I could stand. Everything had to go and everything had to improve. While improvement is good to have [the setting of goals in everyday life, resolutions, healthy thoughts, etc.], I just fought with myself constantly. I could remember thinking ‘you’re too naggy, you’re too rude, you have a fat face, etc.’. It got so bad; I became depressed and tried out many different medications. I hit the lowest point of my life when I turned to self-mutilation. The thought of punishing myself for not being perfect seemed like a good idea to me. Now, thanks to Gala, I can actually say that I love myself – all of me. I see what others can see. I still look for self-improvement – on the things that I NEED to change and CAN change. If I had to pick one thing that I love about myself, it’s my courage. I gathered enough courage and strength to get past my horrible times and move on. I can now say that I no longer cut myself. These scars are reminders of the past. Little things here and there that kind of say ‘Hey. Don’t go down that road. You are loved – by friends, family, and, most importantly, yourself’. I had the strength to bring myself up from the depths and look forward, be positive, be strong. Although, I’m still on anti depressants and still in therapy, I’m doing much better and hopefully will soon be out of therapy, fully recovered and off medication. I don’t need the darkness in my life… I’ve got self-love and that’s the best light that there is.

    P.S. Thanks Gala :)

  360. I just wanted to point out that Murano glass didn’t start IN ROME but during the ROMAN EMPIRE, sorry for being a stickler for details but Murano glass gets its name from where it is produced.

  363. Oh! That is a gorgeous necklace!

    What I love about about myself is that I never give up, I have the strength to pull myself through and out of anything that life has thrown at me through the past two years. I love that I have learned to stand on my own two feet by myself, that I don’t have to ask anyone for direction about my life/what to do with myself anymore. I love that I’m learning to love me.

    <3 Georgina · Mar 3, 07:28 PM · #

  364. Might not be very deep, but my favorite thing about myself is my hair. Reason being, on a day I feel like shit about everything else, I can finally look in the mirror and smile.

    Radical Self Love has really been helping me though!

    <3 Carolyn · Mar 3, 07:46 PM · #

  365. my favorite thing about myself is…my hair. i’ve had a love-hate affair with it over the years but i’ve learned to embrace it in all its wild, crazy, curly goodness. :)

    <3 Amanda · Mar 3, 07:49 PM · #

  366. i love my freckles, i love that i’m an amazing cook, i love the way i look and feel when i ride my bike in the spring with my hair blowing in the wind. i love that i can make the perfect latte. i love my creativity.

    <3 azalea · Mar 3, 08:26 PM · #

  367. This was really hard to come up with. It was hard to think of something at first, but as I started thinking, so many reasons started popping into my head, I could write a story book here!
    One thing that I really love about myself is that I always look at the positive side of things, which makes me happy, and those around me happy because I tend to do things that make them happy too :)

    <3 Stephanie · Mar 3, 09:02 PM · #

  368. The things I love about myself now are the things that I used to completely hate when I was younger: my curly hair and my crooked bottom teeth. Eventually I hope to be able to see everything else that I don’t like about myself as quirky and charming rather than ugly. It’s going to take a while but…. two down!! I’m on my way!

    <3 Laura · Mar 3, 10:36 PM · #

  369. I love how I don’t let what others think about me get to me. I love how I look, I love that I am a strong independent woman. I love how I stick up to what I beleive in. I love how nerdy I am. I love my smile, my eyes, my laugh. Radical Self Love has helped me love me more! Thanks Gala :)

    <3 Kristine · Mar 3, 11:30 PM · #

  370. I love that no matter what i always approach anyone with a friendly smile and I love knowing that weird is a good thing and i love my hair and i love my sense of humor!

    <3 Ikraam · Mar 3, 11:52 PM · #

  371. My ridiculous laugh and strong voice.

    <3 Troy · Mar 4, 12:31 AM · #

  372. This is a mint community! I just read all the comments and everyone is so positive. The thing I love most about myself is that I’m resilient and can bounce back pretty quickly

    <3 Mon · Mar 4, 01:21 AM · #

  373. >Just tell us what you love most about yourself!<

    I love my ability to create. My ability to create people, their lives, what they look & sound like, their history, their stories is something I have been able to do since birth and it is my most treasured part of myself. I am determined to share these wonderful creations with the world one day!

    <3 Rachael · Mar 4, 01:23 AM · #

  374. I love that I smile all the time.

    <3 lynn · Mar 4, 01:36 AM · #

  375. My favourite part about me is my eyes. They’re almost an emerald green, with hazel around the pupils, which is pretty ordinary. But they’re my favourite feature in spite of how plain they are, because they tie me to my family. They are exactly my mother’s eyes (I share her voice too, which I count as a blessing aswell), and also my great grandmother’s on my father’s side, and my father’s mother’s, whom I never had the chance to meet because she died of breast cancer before I was two. All I remember of her is that she bought me my favourite toy of all time, and that her eyes inspired her nickname, Hazel. I’m told when I was a baby she called me Hazel, and since her death it’s been my nickname with the whole family, both sides. My eyes hold generations of strong women with each blink, wink, and glimmer, and tie me to a beautiful woman I never really got to know.

    <3 Lanika · Mar 4, 02:44 AM · #

  376. i love my ability to forgive myself, because i do make mistakes, and im not perfect, and i like it that way :)

    <3 kellyclare · Mar 4, 04:53 AM · #

  377. I love my mind! I am the most grounded and self-loving person I know, and I love that about myself.

    <3 Amanda · Mar 4, 06:46 AM · #

  378. I love how I can just talk forever and make people laugh. I used to get all these comments from people saying that girls should stay quiet and stuff, but hey, if it’s going to keep myself happy, and the people I love feel entertained, I’ll keep talking.
    And I must say I love love love this self love spirit. The more I read, the more I realise that if I’m not going to take good care and feel good about myself, probably nobody else would. So thank you very very much for this.

    <3 Zee · Mar 4, 07:40 AM · #

  379. I love the way I can connect with animals. They could be all freaking out and scared and running around, and I just pet them and talk to them sweetly and they calm right down.

    Even when I started having pets when I was little, I wouldn’t choose them, they honestly and truly chose me. My first dog ran up to me like I was an old friend, and she had barely known me for five minutes.

    My rabbit pawed the glass and reached out to me when I looked at him in the glass cubicle he called home in the pet shop. When I come home from work, he starts doing a little happy dance in his cage and sticks his little nose out of the bars to nuzzle me.

    I love animals wholeheartedly, and I think the pick up on that.

    <3 Whit · Mar 4, 08:44 AM · #

  380. I love how unique and special I am. I am blessed and my world improves every day. The universe will give me wonderful and beautiful surprises and take good care of me. The universe will also give me what I ask for, and surprise me beautifully.

    I love myself so much.

    <3 Battery · Mar 4, 09:37 AM · #

  381. I adore my quirky sense of humor, even if I’m the only one laughing.

    <3 Ashli · Mar 4, 10:54 AM · #

  382. I think, what I love most about me, is that I am very emotional. One of my previous boyfriends used to insist this was a bad thing, but he was afraid to feel- I am not. I let myself feel what it is

    I feel, I don’t try to lock it away from even myself. There are times where showing a certain emotion to others isn’t always the best idea, true. Then there are times where I get angry or upset over something small I know shouldn’t bother me so much, so I try to deal with it internally.

    But I still let myself feel . I still face, and even befriend, my own heart.

    He asked me once, how I could be “so damn happy”. The truth is, I think, that I can be so happy precisely because I can be so low. When I feel sad, I work through it. I work through it so I can move on, so I can learn from what I feel and make things right from there. If I try to cut myself away from feeling instead of facing it, all it does is fester like an old, gross wound.

    I don’t mean to insult anyone who doesn’t think like this. I don’t think any differently of people either way. This is just how I work, and for me, it is what works best.

    <3 Marg · Mar 4, 11:51 AM · #

  383. What a beautiful heart. What I like about myself is that I am a loyal, true friend with a loving spirit.

    <3 Mia J. · Mar 4, 01:15 PM · #

  384. I (finally decided to) love my freckles.
    I love the curves of my body.
    I love my skin tone.
    I love my eyes, my eyelashes, and the way my eyes look when I smile/laugh.
    I love my toes/feet. they are so small & look like “baby feet,” they’re cute.
    I love my fangs.
    I love my legs, my arms, my back, my shoulder blades…
    I really really really love my freckles!!
    I love when I can brighten someone’s day.
    I love loving myself, just as I am.♥

    <3 Mirela · Mar 4, 01:48 PM · #

  385. I love that everything I touch is imaginary and no one can take that.

    <3 HannahLee · Mar 4, 02:10 PM · #

  386. what i love most about myself are my creativity, my very curvy hips, my hands & that i’m always true to myself & stand up for what i believe in :]

    <3 maraluce · Mar 4, 02:55 PM · #

  387. Beautiful!

    <3 Rachel H. · Mar 4, 09:23 PM · #

  388. What I most love about myself is my loyalty to family and friends and that they know they can tell me anything and not be judged. I can also keep a secret til my dying day.

    <3 Ellie W · Mar 4, 09:56 PM · #

  389. right now i am adoring my pregnant body to the max!!! i’ve also always been a big fan of my eyes. I also love my incurable positivity, no matter how dreary the situation. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, but the only monsters that may be residing in the dark are your own negative thoughts.

    <3 Tiffany · Mar 4, 11:47 PM · #

  390. I love that I’m not afraid to take on new challenges. My dad would say “What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
    It has always been my inspiration.

    <3 Kelly Ann T. · Mar 5, 01:08 AM · #

  391. The thing I most love about myself is my willingness to forgive. I’m still learning to focus that towards myself as well as everyone else, but it’s a wonderful thing to be able to make the decision to forgive yourself for stuffing up, it completely paves the way to trying both new things, and things that you didn’t quite get right the first time again.
    Forgiving someone (whether it’s yourself or someone else) also helps to fight anger and sadness for me, so I can focus on being the happy, wonderful person I am, mistakes and all.

    <3 Rhii · Mar 5, 02:43 AM · #

  392. What a stunning necklace!

    <3 Alli · Mar 5, 08:31 AM · #

  393. Right now, what I love most about myself is that I had the guts to quit my job because it had truly become totally wrong for me. The feeling that I’ve had since is the lightest I’ve felt in a while.

    <3 Jamie · Mar 5, 09:48 AM · #

  394. My heart is relentless and beats far too loud, and I love it. I feel like I am all the time getting into trouble because of how hard I want things, but the wanting keeps me from ever giving up or going back.

    <3 Jenny · Mar 6, 01:20 AM · #

  395. I love my smile and my laugh..! ;)

    <3 Fara · Mar 6, 03:10 AM · #

  396. I love my sensibility and the way I try to face the difficulties.
    ♥_♥

    <3 Francesca · Mar 6, 08:32 AM · #

  397. I love my eyes.

    <3 Kristi C · Mar 6, 03:02 PM · #

  398. While I’m still far from really loving myself, I know I make people more open minded and I make them have more fun. I’m indecent, I know my ‘Finnegans Wake’ quotes and I know how to dance. So far this all made me survive in the world with all my horrid imperfections, and when I’m not so well sometimes I see that others happy to see me, and I know that they see something I yet cannot get access to. But they are the proof it exists! and I know we all got something, and I got my something good, too. Sweet Jesus, forgive the cheese.

    <3 Penelope · Mar 6, 04:12 PM · #

  399. I love that I’m cherished by God. :-)

    <3 Mimithekitten · Mar 6, 11:04 PM · #

  400. I love the fact that I’m comfortable being alone. I moved to a new city less than a year ago and it’s scary and great: I take myself out on dates: to art shows, book launches, plays, dinner…
    I love people and love making new friends, but I love the fact that I’m not afraid to explore my new city on my own, (knowing that it takes time to make new friends, of course).
    (woah that’s a lot of love :P)
    I love that my hair looks best when it hasn’t been brushed or washed in days.
    I love that I’ve been a unashamed booknerd since the age of 3.

    <3 Elena · Mar 6, 11:54 PM · #

  401. I love my hourglass body shape, my passion to learn and the way I keep my heart open to new people, places and feelings. And I love that pendant!

    <3 Mini · Mar 7, 07:42 PM · #

  402. How beautiful.

    The think I love the most about myself is that, despite battling sincere self-confidence issues for many years, I’ve put it all aside to pursue my ambitions. I like that I haven’t let my negative self-opinion define who I am, or stop me from trying to create a great life for myself. The further along I get, the more I value this trait.

    <3 Beth · Mar 8, 12:05 AM · #

  403. I love my eyelashes most—they are long and If I put on mascara it looks like I have eyeliner on. Thanks for the chance to win something lovely.
