Embracing My "Too's"

I am too much of a lot of things, but it makes me who I am

Embracing My "Too's"
Erin Thoresen

These are my "too's..."

I am too forgetful.

A very common nickname of mine is Dory -- if the shoe fits, right? I can be halfway through a story and totally forget I was even talking. I walk across the house for something and go back to my room empty handed. I close out my phone because of a distraction and forget to respond to that text message I opened. I forget due dates sometimes and I even forget what day it is. I am too forgetful and that's OK.

I am too forgiving.

You could punch me square in the face for no reason at all and I would still find a way to justify your doing so. I have let people walk all over me who were friends of mine and was okay with it because they didn't mean to hurt me or I was scared to let them go. People think they can get away with doing wrong to me because I'll put up with it. I let people back in my life that don't deserve it. I am too forgiving and that's OK.

I am too loving.

I give my heart out to everyone I come in contact with. I love people which is why I am going into the medical field. I care about every living soul on this planet and do anything I can to help anyone. I let people in my heart that are only out to hurt me. But when I find someone in my life worth loving, they're loved more than anyone will ever feel again. I am too loving and that's OK.

I am too passionate.

I put my heart and soul into everything I do. My work isn't complete until it's perfect. I can't sleep if there's someone who doesn't know how I feel about them. I have no problem pouring out my feelings. I value true friendships over popularity. And I get hurt from this quality, a lot. I am too passionate and that's OK.

I am too honest.

Ask me what my problem is with you and I won't hesitate to tell you. Ask my opinion on a certain topic and I won't hold back any details. I am too honest and that's OK.

I am too adventurous.

I never turn down a trip or adventure. I am the first to do something simply out of craving adrenaline. I never stop moving and never want to be home. I get bored in routines and try to make fun out of everything I do. I am too adventurous and that's OK.

I am too inquisitive.

I am always asking questions and can never learn enough. If something doesn't have a reason, I can't wrap my mind around it. If I am told to do something, I want to know why and how I am of importance. I love fun facts that will never further me in life unless I am on a game show. I love knowledge of the world and how things work. I like being able to find reason and meaning to things. I am too inquisitive and that's OK.

I am too competitive.

I always have to win and if I don't win, I want a rematch. Everything turns into a competition to me because that just makes it more fun! I don't like playing sports that make a fool of me but if I do, I will pick it up real quick. I am too competitive and that's OK.

These are just a few things I am too much of. I have a big, yet careless, heart. I'd give the shirt off my back to a complete stranger and I have been hurt by the same people too many times. I make mistakes a few times before I learn and always ask questions. This is who I am. I am proud of being "too..."

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
