Day 01: A recent picture of yourself and 15 facts about yourself



I used to be really good at answering questions about myself, way back when my ego was on fire and commanded all control over my body/thoughts etc. But I’ve since quietened that annoying, pestering voice inside my head that was completely self centered and concerned with looking/acting a certain way to impress people that don’t really matter. I’m sure we’ve all been there. And at the end of the day, you look in the mirror and wonder where it all went wrong. Or where you were? Who were you? 
Alas, lets begin this challenge in celebration of my egos demise and see where it goes. I will focus more on staying in feel than trying to form a reference or image for the people who read this/will ever read this. Because if you’ve never known me, your the lucky ones. You wont judge me on the impression I left.
1. I’ve been overseas 4 times in the past 12 months. 2. I’m Maori. 3. I’d rather spend a night in with my parents than numb myself and get a hangover. 4. I would like nothing more than to move off the peninsula, the consciousness down here is suffocating. 5. I can confidently say that I’m happy being with one person until I die. 6. Sometimes I feel like I’ve lived 5 lifetimes in the past 12 months. 7. Sometimes I feel like an old soul observing the world. 8. I’m 5 foot 3. 9. 19 years old. 10. Aspiring artist. 11. I miss my best friend. 12. I want to be in Europe, painting all day every day. 13. The strength of my resistance is absurd sometimes. 14. I have amazing creating abilities. 15. I’ve reached a personal sense of peace, personal responsibility and awakened to the real reasons as to why I exist.
Interesting? People will say yes, people will say no. I think appreciating that people believe differently and that, that’s okay, is key.
