5 Hates and 5 Loves of Mine

by Mistress Elsha Hawk

5 Things I hate

I hate crying. I hate pity parties, the ones where everyone has to have the Worst Life EVER !

I hate getting up early. Especially when it’s cold.

I hate people who have influence, but don’t help you up the ladder of success. Especially when they kick you down.

I hate being stereotyped, not able to break out of the box everyone puts you in.

5 Things I Love

I love quiet solitude in a shady spot on a 76 degree day.

I love how fire dances, burns in different colors, creates heat hazes that blur the outlines, casts soft shadows hiding imperfections, and soothes chilly fingers and toes.

I love searching for the longest icicle, building snowmen, sledding, and making snow angels. The hot cocao is nice too.

I love feeling appreciated, helpful, and useful. You know, the feeling you get when others know you’ve done a good job.

I love feeling organized, together, and in control. I love having a clear direction and knowing I’m headed right for it.

Mostly, my life is a combination of these things

    I agree with almost all of these, but as for #3 in the “hate” list, I just think that you should use your own talents and personality to “climb the ladder” (I don’t even like that phrase) and stick your tongue out at them. You can’t go it alone, but you don’t need the snotty people helping you either.

    thanks stovo! Lately, I am doubting my own talents, or skills. But I’m conciously trying to better myself, say very little, and avoid confrontations with those who say a lot (gossips). Sometimes I just wish for a morsel of advice, and I don’t think I’ll ever find it from them. :)
