For once, I actually have a stockpile of posts to write... a poem inspired by a Springsteen lyric, as suggested by Dana... a poem based on the last post...
But today, I am going to do a short post about my 'list'.
I first wrote about the list back in 2007... believe it or not. It was my homework from my psychiatrist to think of five 'positive' words about myself and then put a big piece of paper on my bedroom door for other people to do the same... write things about my character which they thought to be good.
You might've noticed Dana being kind enough to give me words periodically.
Well, rather stupidly, I tore the list up in a particularly vitriolic fit sometime last week. When I received a new word the other day I decided to re-instate said task and make a new list.
So... I invite you to start your own self-development posters... make them beautiful, show them off and let's give each other a few gifts made of words.
About Me

- I'm Nikita and I'm whatever you want me to be. I am a bipolar nothing. A student with no course. I am a writer and a critic. I'm a southerner who strayed north. I read with closed eyes. I take anti-psychotics and mood stabilisers and anti-depressants. My arms are littered with scars. I'm a dreamer who woke up. I am in love. aloha x

I remember your list...
there is nothing wrong in starting with a new one anyway - it can be good to sit and think again. I can think of plenty of words for your list - will e mail them to you...
Katie, xx
:) thanks Katie. I will too think of some words for you... perhaps you don't want to start a list but it's a good exercise anyway isn't it? xx
Thank you - I think a list is a fantastic idea - more people should do them - they are very affirming, :)

That's the word! Affirming.
Thank you, for a lot of things! xxx
you are so welcome...and thank you too, ditto, xx
Hello Nikita, just popped over here from another blog. Been seeing your name and photo on some of the blogs I frequent so I thought, what the heck, why not find out a little bit about this person.
What a wonderful surprise to find you are so open and honest in your posts. I love the word list idea! Authentic is the word I am asking to add to your list, for your genuine, transparent heart. I will start a list of my own soon. This is actually a wonderful excercise I could use in my Character/Ethics or Personal Development classes. Thanks for the idea:)
m2p... welcome! It's lovely to see you hear, and thank you so much for the word!
I always hope to come across how you described me in my comment, so it's lovely to read that I do succeed sometimes.
I will think of a word for you, as soon as I pop over to visit your blog!
PS I love the idea too... hope it can help you out!.
