I'm Valerie and I am many things. Describing someone else comes easy to a majority of people but describing yourself is a lot harder. However, what really matters for me is that I know who I am and I don't let anyone else define me.
I'm quite erratic at times. Acting before thinking but that is just me and I'm not afraid to state my flaws. I admit to my mistakes and not afraid to apologise for it. There are times when I'm full of pride that I refuse to see the errors of my ways but I try my best to swallow it up and make amends to people that I've hurt. I know that I'm still young and there are several aspects of my personality that I need to work on. I'm not afraid to show my imperfections even though it opens me up to vulnerability. However, appearance is everything to me so I rarely share my problems to others and those people are the ones who I value the most. No matter how much I crumble inside, I want to deal with it alone.

"Imperfection is beauty. Madness is a genius. It is better to be absolutely ridiculous, than absolutely stupid."]
Before I start to bore you, I'll sum this up into five words that I think describes me best: A Learner, adventurous, friendly, bubbly and 'fierce'.
More? What I think makes me different. A quality in me that I like about is being able to make myself feel good. I know some people who needs other people's "compliment" to make them feel good about themselves.
Well, not me. Of course it makes me smile and feel flattered when someone says I look nice. However, I think that it's a lot more flattering if you approve your own self.
Before I go out, I always look in my mirror and tell myself
"You look fierce." Some people may say it's silly but self confidence is a big 'happy' factor. I think that the ability to boost my confidence and not needing anyone else's approval is a good quality.
Go on, try it. Tell yourself you look fierce too.

"Sometimes, confidence is the key to be beautiful."]
