virtues

Jokes aside I actually went through the list, cause why not?

Ambition - I think my desire to achieve, succeed and amount to something meaningful in life is a pretty big part of my personality. I work hard at things that I'm passionate about and I'm not content to remain on the bottom rung of any totem pole.

Creativity - I'm constantly creating, whether that be through writing or choreography.

Defiance - Not necessarily a good one I guess but I'm not the kind of person who just lets people walk over them or who'll do something just because you've asked. I need to have a good reason to do something, even if that reason is simply because I feel like it. Plus I'm stubborn as all hell and refuse to be beaten by my own circumstances and that's got to count for something here.

Idealism - Anyone who has spoken to me at any length, probably knows that I have some pretty strict ideals that I adhere to. I have very firm political, social, moral and economic beliefs that I truly believe are the path towards a better future.

Humour - I like to laugh and to make others laugh and tend to use humour as my primary means of communicating with people and as a coping mechanism. Unfortunately though my sense of humour is extremely dry and sarcastic which doesn't always go over amazingly lol.
 
1) Acceptance. I learnt to accept lots of stuff that is out of my control in life.

2) Assertiveness. I'm very assertive, I won't hold back on things. As I reached my mid 20s I learnt to be more like this.

3) Empathy. I am much more understanding of what goes on for people and what they might be going through. Again something I do more since mid 20s.

4) Sobriety. This is the big one. Now I've been clean since 2013 I'm a far better person. I grew up a lot since then.

5) Wisdom. I'm much more aware of what's going on in my life and what's going on around me. I've learnt many life lessons.
 
  • Hope - Things can get better, but if we lose hope they never will. Having hope is what lets me get through the worst times because I can trust that even when it doesn't seem like it things can change for the better.
  • Frugality - I hate waste. Wasted time, wasted opportunities, wasted resources. There's a finite limit to almost everything so it should be used well.
  • Justice - Life should be fair. People who do wrong should be stopped.
  • Detachment - I guess this helps me survive so that I don't end up wallowing over things I've lost. Not as good as accepting the loss, I suppose, but there it is.
  • Discernment - I dunno. This just feels like a "seeing through bull****" kind of virtue and that feels like something I've always gravitated toward.
 
Ambition - My signature says it all. Power through Ambition. It's my slogan / catchphrase.

Defiance - Because fuck the rules that's why! Seriously though I'm a rebel at heart, I do things my way.

Bravery - I'm pretty fearless these days and that's largely due to putting myself through tough and dangerous situations which has enlarged my comfort zone.

Eloquence - I tend to have a way with words so I think this fits nicely.

Determination - I've been told by several people that I have a lot of determination.
