Self Esteem

Whenever someone gives me a compliment, I automatically assume they are drunk.

I know, this doesn’t say much about my self esteem. So I am working on it.

I’m trying to get to a place where, when people say something nice to me, I truly believe they are being genuine. That I am a good person, and people can recognize and point out my positive qualities without being under the influence of a ton of alcohol.

And the fact that they’re always throwing up right after– that’s just a coincidence.

I Love Compliments

A 3rd grader pops her head into our classroom and I happen to be standing by the door while my co teacher is at the front of the room.

Kid: “Miss Emily, I have a compliment to say.”
Me: “Oh, great! I love compliments. Go for it!”
Kid: “Can you please tell your co-teacher she looks VERY pretty today?”
Me: “Well that’s sweet! I’ll pass that message right along!”
