In middle school they asked us to use 3 words to describe ourselves.
Mine were always something like, nice, funny, shy, kind.
I could never think of more than 3 or 4 without really thinking about it.
When I got into the treatment center one of the group topics was healthy thinking.

Adjectives.
More than I could ever think of.
It made me realize there is so much more to me than 3 or 4 little words with little meanings.
