When I made up my mind that I wanted to blog I never realized how much pressure I would feel for choosing a title for it. Then I began to pay attention to what other blogs were called and how clever the names seemed to be and I froze. Would I be able to come up with something catchy and fun? Did I want my name in the title? I had many ideas come to mind. A few of them I loved but found that they were already taken. So after some contemplating and self reflection I came up with "I Pick Me". This stems from a number of things, but mostly something I have learned over the last few months of my life: That before I can be happy with anything else in my life, whether it be my children, spouse, parents, siblings, extended family, friends, job, hobbies, and anything else, I have to be happy with me. I have to learn to accept me for who I am. Flaws, talents, bad habits, scars and all, I have to accept ME. Therefore, I decided that the best way to declare to myself and the world that I am to that point is to say it. I PICK ME. I pick myself to decide how I feel, how I react, how I dress, style my hair, wear my makeup, what I eat, who I befriend, who I avoid and who I love. I no longer need to worry how others see me, because if I love myself and have confidence and pride I will be a much happier person for myself and in turn for the rest of the world.
So there you have it. If you were curious as to what spurred the title of my blog, now you know.
