Todays question:
What do you like or want to like about yourself?
Honestly, it's wild how much this answer has changed over the last month or so. Before then, the best i could have done was to list a bunch of things other people have said repeatedly are positive qualities of mine, and it all would have been "i want to believe them to like these things about myself." But now, i actually, genuinely, really like myself, through and through, warts and all (thankfully there aren't any actual warts). They're all just a part of me, and complexity isn't a bad thing.

The only thing i can really say i still wish i liked more is how i look, same as @PrincessPure. I personally have a long way to go before i'm pretty, but i'm ok with being patient until i hopefully am.

That's right, you inspire me InnO! : )

Now, I always wondered, how you take such great pictures... yes - that cannot be explained, as it is likely highly, "intuitive!" :^)
But, how you get the objects in the foreground or more front & center, to be so sharp & in focus, while the back ground remains
faded / or 'blurry?' ;) GREAT WORK, Either~Way!!* I like your eye. It's very natural. And you have fantastic, phenomenal taste!

Now, as for me & what was the "?" again! :D ^ah, yes! . . . that I am sincere. I like that about myself, however; or although: it can be
both a blessing & a cures--or, it can help (sometimes, & in some situations) & it also cannot ~.*>

Thanks to @Innocent Forever for inviting me to the café. Happy spring 🌼

Lately I haven't liked much about myself at all. Mood/feelings/outlook have been pretty bleak.

Ironically, spring is when my mood really plummets, and summer is even worse. I'll spend the next five months counting the days until fall/winter.

I like that I have learned the value of silence, and to listen more than I speak, and to follow the Stoic principle that states 'Speak little and well'

Wishing peace and serenity for all...

Hmm, i always find it hard to say what i like about myself. Most of the time i like nothing about me, except maybe my eyes. But, i think i am starting to like the person i am becoming. i think i am beginning to like, dare i say it, my own self for a change.

Thank you for the tag ☺ *hug

Balaam’s Donkey

21 Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the Moabite officials. 22 But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. 23 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road.

24 Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. 25 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.

26 Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. 27 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff. 28 Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”

29 Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.”

30 The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”

“No,” he said.

31 Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.

32 The angel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.[a] 33 The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared it.”

Always remember to be kind to people and animals alike!

One of the things I like about myself that most others do is that I am absolutely certain I am right...for myself on things, but that it is for others to decide for themselves how their lives should be. I have been told I am the most tolerant person that can give stubborn lessons to a mule. It doesn't matter if it is politics, religion, sex/gender or any lifestyle choice, along those lines of how they live. I am perfect in my beliefs and they are for what they decide for themselves. Go for it, live as it please you and cheers you while I do the same. Live and let live.

Yes! Love everything you said there in your post, but quoting this part especially because it’s my “favorite part” and also cos it badly needs repeating. So many problems in this bloody world could be prevented if people would take this one to heart, or at least seriously strive to. Easier said than done sometimes for sure though, I know. I do my best to never judge.

Tysm for the tag @Innocent Forever and for posting the cafe today. Oh and ya I don’t know if I’ll be posting one for awhile or not lol. Can’t say more than that right now, sorry.

Anyway now I will just answer the q.
Something I like about myself is my mind and imagination. It has absolutely saved me MANY times in my life, especially when I was a kid. Rather not get into a negative topic, but ya it has helped me survive some of the worst things/people in my life anyway.

Something I really want to like about myself is my looks. Not sure if I’ll ever be there or not, so I guess for now (and maybe forever) all I can do is strive to feel like maybe I look ok, attractive enough on a physical level and where there is maybe some kind of hope that a man that lives near me will feel a deep love and attraction to me. Anything can happen I guess, definitely not holding my breath that it will ever happen though of course, lol.
