Self-Realization
And I've been self-evaluating again, but this time it is not that whole "I suck because of this..." type deal, nor is it a gloat-fest. It is just what I feel:
I have come to realize that I am a very talented artist, and possibly the best Sophomore Studio major at Brenau. I am capable of rising to the challenge and producing art that even I feel is quality work. I am excelling in the three areas of concentration: Drawing, Painting, and Ceramics. I will be the second person in the last 30 years to concentrate on all three. I realize that I create art to the best of my ability, and that is good enough for me. No one can take my talent away from me, and no one can stop me from doing what I love.
I have come to realize that I am a good leader. I can take charge of a chaotic room and create some semblance of order. I am a role model on campus, and I know that I must always uphold the Ideals of Brenau, because I am watched constantly by my peers and I know I am looked up to. I will strive to serve Brenau in every capacity, and give back to the community that has given so much to me.
I have come to realize that I am a hard worker. I do my job quickly and efficiently, but my work never loses quality. I am trusted in my work environment, and I have knowledge of events and issues that no other student does. I know exactly what is going on, but only because my superiors know that I will not tell anyone else. I know that I will be extremely successful in the work world.
I have come to realize that I do have a dream. I have also come to realize that I am working towards that dream and that I know what I have to do. I know that I can become a full-fledged freelance artist, and that I can make money doing so. Slowly but surely, people are lining up to buy my work. People want my work. People like my work. I can do what I want to do for a living, and I can make a living by painting and drawing and creating.
I have come to realize that I have a very loving and accepting family, who not only accepts me for who I am, but takes in my friends whose parents aren't as open-minded. I am the only person I know that received "coming-out" presents. My mother calls my girlfriend her second daughter, and has almost created a shelter for other lesbians I know who don't have as wonderful a home life as I do. Our home is their home and my mom will be a mother to anyone that needs someone.
I have come to realize that I am a very caring individual. I work hard to help my fellow students when they come to me for advice, and I try to make sure that they see in themselves what I see. I surround myself with very talented people, and someday they see that they are worth far more than they ever thought. I have faith in mankind, and I know that Good will always prevail, maybe not in every battle, but when the war is over, Good will be triumphant.
I have come to realize that I am an amazing lover. I am completely and totally devoted, but I do not lose my identity. I believe strongly in True Love, and that everyone has a soul-mate. I know that I have been fortunate enough to have found mine early in life. I know that she loves me as much as I love her, and that she feels I am worthy of her, as she is worthy of me. I know that we will always manage to find happiness in even the darkest corners, and that our love is stronger than anything imaginable.
I have come to realize that I am an extremely beautiful person, and now I understand why people love to be around me. I am strong, I am talented, I am caring, and I am very well-rounded. I can walk in a room and make heads turn. I shine, and I make sure that I have high expectations for my friends, because they rise to the level of expectation set for them, and they are equally as beautiful as I am. I know I am fortunate for meeting the people I have met so far in life, because they each have given me a little piece of their heart to carry with me through life. I am a puzzle, and the finished product is glorious and giving.
....I have to go dye Easter Eggs.
