I’m sitting here watching Desperate Housewives and Bree just flipped her proverbial wig over the whole lemon meringue pie issue. She said that the only thing special about her is what she can do in the kitchen.
I stopped in my tracks.
My first day on my new job my co-workers took me to lunch and at some point they turned to me and said, “So Diva….tell us all about yourself.”

I had nothing to say. Nothing. There is absolutely nothing special enough about me to share in my mind. So when Bree made that comment, it kinda caught me. I actually got sad that she thought all she had was what she could do in the kitchen. There should be so much more to a person than that. The worst part is that how can you truly value yourself if you don’t know what makes you special?
Being special
Self worth
Value
Bunch of shit to think about when you’re sitting on the couch feeling hurt.
So….what’s special about you?

I get caught off guard when someone says “tell me all about yourself”. I say the typically things like where I’m from, my hobbies, etc. After saying all that, I’ll be like boring, I know. But I realized it may be boring just listening to it but I’m not a boring person. Not everyone has had things happen to them where it gets a gasp out of people.
But what’s special about me is me.
That is such a hard question. I value myself and I believe I matter … but it’s difficult to name a quality that makes me special. I mean, the stuff I do … most people do. So what’s special about that?
I can find the silver, hell platinum lining in nearly any situation.
