2016 One Little Word

Though it's not actually one little word, this is going to be my one little word for 2016. It's my new mantra headed into the new year.  I'm always playing it safe.  I hold my tongue a lot because I worry I might sound weird or grumpy.  I buy things that the media or the stores tell me I should buy because I'm not 100% sure what I like so I go along with what everyone else likes. 

I stay away from Match.com because I have no idea how to be me online and be the charming and flirty girl that all guys supposedly want.  Honestly, that's the struggle.  (If Prince Charmings fell from the sky, I'd be all set!)  I don't talk a lot about myself, because it's so much easier to listen to other people talk.  The social awkwardness that most people swear I don't have is totally real and a major bummer. 

In 2016 I want that to change.  I want others to see me for who I am. I want to have ideas and opinions.  I want to like what I like and see what I want to see.   Even if I do say so myself, that person I already am is pretty great.  So why not show her off?
