Why are you worth knowing?

We all circle the drain of qualifying our worth/what we are giving back to the universe...…. don't we?  I sure do.  Like, all the days.  I think this constant whirling around an idea is one of the roots of my anxiety/nervousness.  On average, I wonder if I'm an effective human being 5 times a day.

I know I'm an effective* human being because I've managed to keep two human beings alive for 6 years.  I know I'm an effective human being because my dog hasn't died yet, and she is almost 9.

Perhaps its the Catholic "selflessness" that was ingrained in me as a child.  "You are not the center of the universe."  OR the fact that I have a handful of siblings to remind me that it isn't just about ME.  Though the axis isn't spinning because I'm breathing, I want to know that my footprint in this life isn't left without positive impact.

Effective = kind, compassionate, empathetic; live a life with a/any/some passion, make waves to help the greater good; making your mark; touching people's lives

I'd like to think I'm worth knowing because I have balls.  Yeah.  Balls.  I'm most of the time decisive, passionate and feel strongly about things I feel.  I don't tolerate littering, ignorance, and most certainly n-word jokes (no one should).  I'm not afraid to speak my mind; if you ask me my opinion, I'm giving it to you.

I also rule at pop culture trivia, putting ridiculous outfits together that involve sweatpants and am a connoisseur of judging how soft a dog's ears are.

I'm a loyal friend.  I'll give a stranger the shirt off my back.  I believe in second chances and I have only held one grudge in my life.  Can one grudge be my mulligan?

My worth is equal to that of any other person.  I may know more about Hall & Oates than your average Joe...… and the show Friday Night Lights.

If you can't figure out why you're worth knowing, its time for legit professional help.  Every person has something to contribute.

This post may have been all over the place; I haven't had my ADD meds in 4 days and I'm listening to the "Big Chill" soundtrack = multitasking.  So sorry if there are random song lyrics to "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys.
