Do you ever make these lists? Thanks for being part of my personal growth, part of that is admitting stuff I *like* and not worrying what others think (big “duh” I know) as opposed to just stating what you dislike because that requires less personal defenses.
I don’t (usually) write them out, but I certainly make lists like this in my mind. I agree, it takes a lot of courage to openly express your likes without fear of judgment by someone else. And I know what you mean by #11: “One down, only 418 more to go!!” Ugh!
