Weekly Confessions… Or Post-Secret?

* I love it when people remember my name. It makes me feel not only remembered but special for some reason. Special because they remembered MY name for a specific reason. Even if it means that I had food stuck in my teeth that day. This also means that I have a slight OCD component to that confession which deals with me thinking EVERYONE forgot my name. This is probably why I will remind people that I have met previously my name (even if it was 3 get togethers ago). People knowing my name makes me feel like family, like new friends or old friends truly consider me as family.

* I have a very neurotic writing pattern. If a letter is not perfect enough or slanted enough I will rip the sheet out of the notebook. People always comment on how perfect my handwriting is. Although, I specifically don’t start writing in journals for the fear that I will be so engrossed in my thoughts and emotions that my writing will become sloppy and ugly. This is probably because my mother pushed for me to handwrite when I was in grade 2. I have written cursive ever since.

* I think about money at least 10 times a day. I check my banking account as often as I can. I calculate my paychecks. I write down all the hours I work. At times, I feel this is obsessive.. But better be safe than sorry, no? I like to be aware of things before other people are. And I like to have control especially over such a tricky subject like finance.

    People knowing your name is really a wonderful feeling. I agree with you that its makes somehow someone special. ABout money, i think money will just come if you really work hard. its not something you just pick on a tree and i guess youre a hardworking person, so money just comes easily i guess
