Sidequests Week 23

A lot of this week’s sidequests include a more “you’ll have to take my word for it” vibe. They involved changing up my style for a day, practicing an impression of a celebrity or character, and looking in the mirror and saying my great qualities out loud.

My impressions are awful. I’ve never been good at them at all. Efforts were made, but I’m not providing proof, and there was like… zero improvement.

The style change wasn’t hugely significant, but not one I wanted to take pictures of because it was more a nighttime style change than an out in public one. That probably shouldn’t count, but I’m going with it. Bwahaha.

And then the self-compliments again! Those are hard for me. But I did force myself to look into a mirror and repeat a few compliments that I’ve gotten from other people. Ick.

So all in all, a short update. Sometimes the weeks are pretty simple.

For Me (sonnet breaking syllable rule)



I found a place to simply be
And selfishly made time for me
Within the realm of Quietly
Allowed my soul to wander free

Therein I found a sense of self
Between the tomes upon the shelf
In understanding what I felt
Finally learning how to melt

Allow the new day to pour through
And flush away all shades of blue
To none other I owe no due
And to oneself I must be true

From now my heart sings this one song
To no one else do I belong
