in my 18yr old mind

6. how to cope with being great

I have a girlfriend, she's great, i couldn't ask for more. She's like the soul of my life. But i always figured that she must be a lil bit atypical and delusional, and that when she told me i was amazing, it was an exaggeration, and that i couldn't take her seriously.
This summer, i discovered some things about myslef. How could i not see it? I'm actually charming, my eyes are dark and my hair is blonde, my facial expressions are cute and my hair gets curly during the night. Also, if i pay attention to myself when i speak to others i instantly realise : damn, i'm so kind, i'm funny too, and people like my company. I mean, i'm a good person. I'm also smart, my head works sooo quickly that sometimes it tires me. And I have interest in a lot of different topics, so i always have a fun fact or data concerning what we are talking about.
Bref, as we say in french.
I'm determined and brave, i like adventures and get less and less shy with every year passing. I like to talk to people, i'm polite and respectful. I can feel a lot of empathy, too much actually.
And what's crazy to me right now is how a week ago i still thought i was a "lost teenager", a chaotic young adult but not an adult just yet. Well, i try to be as mature as possible, and i dont think im that far off from people in their 20s. All of this just to say that people actually like me when they meet me, and i can have confidence if i just realise how good of a person i am.
