10 things that shocked the heck out of me... or maybe just one.

Have you ever seen the movie "10 Things I Hate About You"?
If not here's a short summary.
The movie is based off of William Shakespeare's play, The Taming of the Shrew. Heath Ledger is one of the main characters and looks delightfully yummy. And it just happens to be one of my very favorite movies. In the movie there is a section in which Kat (Julia Stiles) has just broken up with Patrick (Heath Ledger) because he was paid to take her to prom in order for Joey to take out Kat's sister Bianca, who really wants to go, and actually ends up going, with Cammeron. Confused yet?
That's about all the back ground information you need for this post.
Anyway, Kat creates a sonnet for her English class titled 10 Things I Hate About You. In the sonnet, she describes all of the things she likes and dislikes about Patrick, and in the last part of the sonnet, tells him she still loves him. What's not to like about this classic '90s teen romance?!

There's a point to this story, I swear.
Today while standing in the bathroom, my little sister told me that she had written a "10 things" list to me, completely out of the blue. When I asked if I could see it, she told me that she had thrown it away and couldn't remember anything on it.
That is where I called B.S. After prodding her about it for a few more minutes, she told me that one thing on the list was along the lines of "You're gorgeous but you don't even know it, let alone believe it."

*Breath Whooshing away from lungs*

That was probably the most genuine compliment I had ever received. Coming from my sister it was nothing short of a miracle. I guess I realized ow hard I am on my self and I need to make loving myself more of a priority.
