PAD 2012 - Tackling the Hard Stuff

On Penguin Awareness Day, we dress up in black and white and talk about a difficult journey we will go on in the coming year (like penguins do every year). This one is tough for me and tough to talk about, but I think that's kind of the point.

i'm pretty sure everyone is going to say the same thing here ... So I agree with them all.

@Ldutch That wasn't my intention, I swear! I didn't make a video to get compliments.

Though they're still appreciated, so thank you. :)

I'm not sure if it means anything coming from me... but you are a beautiful person. So... there.

[kmortland]

@kickingYYC It means a lot. Thank you. :)

If I haven't told you recently, I love you. I think that you are amazing. I love the bow tie. I am with you on this, completely. We spend some much time and energy beating ourselves up that we forget all the wonderful things about ourselves. I want to help you with this. Love love love. Your smile makes me happy!

@kissandhug83 Thank you. I hope people know I didn't intend to fish with this video, but thank you for beautiful words and happy energy that made me cry a little. Love love love.

Bow ties are cool. (you knew that was going to be quoted) And as far as self-esteem goes, if you want to love yourself a little more, just think about how we look at you. Way to hit home with that subject matter, though. We should all maybe take our own advice on self-esteem, I think.

That's awesome that you still fit in prom dress! That's amazing! I don't fit in clothes from last year.

I love your 2nd realization. I read somewhere someone asking, "would you tolerate the thoughts about yourself from another person?" Your vlog reminded me of that.

@kmortland Awww....didn't mean to make you cry. I just want you to know how amazing and wonderful you are. Love love love.

I've had similar realizations. Thanks for articulating them so well! Love your face.
