The Happiness Project: part 2

I would like to move from saying "who am i?" to "who i am is..."
To start, I suppose I must be true to who I am.  Find out exactly what I love and what I hate, and what I just don't really care about and be okay with it.  I have spent 20-something years trying to please everyone and often lose the sense of me that I should have befriended and cultivated a strong relationship with by now.  Here's to starting at hello. 

Hello, my name is Morgan and I ...

love being an aunt - all the love and fun and none of the responsibility
hate that I never nurtured my artistic abilities - My Nana always said that if I didn't use it I'd lose it
love watching snow fall and rain fall and thunder and lightening and shooting stars
am enjoying learning to cook (miracles never cease)
love letters, but hate talking on the phone (i'd much rather text)
hated high school
enjoy books that make me cry
often lose myself in love
love to get lost in museums
hate when people don't stand up for themselves
love period piece movies for their clothes and accents and social protocol that usually makes love a battle to fight for
hate yoga
hate chai tea
love cabernet and lattes (not together)
love doing crossword puzzles (always in pen but have never finished one)
love swinging on the front porch at my parents house
love shooting guns with my dad
enjoy speaking with older people
love it when i'm complimented by an older gentleman (sometimes i wish i had lived in an early time)
love my puppy dog
hate scary movies
dislike most roses, but love tulips and peonies
love when the power goes out - it forces people to be creative and rely on their relationships
hate that i'm always reading 4 books at once and often never finish 2 or 3 of them
love supporting the people i love
love buying and wrapping presents for others

well, that's a start.   It's good to know these things about yourself.  It keeps you from falling into a mold that others have of you or chaging based on what you think someone wants.  It reminds me of "Runaway Bride" wtih Julia Roberts.  What kind of egg do you like best?  Mine is definitely Fried and Runny! Yum.

What makes you happy? What do you love or hate?
