What I Am
From Oct. 18, 2006:
This is what I am. Deal with it, appreciate it, or get the hell out of my life.
I am stubborn. I'm right most of the time, but when I'm not, I'll
be glad to admit it and apologize. But let's be honest, that really
never happens. ;)
I am temperamental. There have been cited instances of
phone-throwing and/or door slamming. I prefer to call these moments
"rage-blackouts." If you can’t handle these, then go away.
I am a believer in taking full advantage of life and all of its
curiosities. When I’m happy, I smile and laugh with my whole heart. I
love my life and I try to take the time to appreciate it.
I am a lover. When I love someone, I love them to the tips of my
fingers. If I love you (and you all know who you are), then you should
know that you are the most important thing to me, and I care about you
like no one else in this world.
I am a fighter. When I want something, I will do anything to get it. Period.
I am passionate. I believe in candles, wine, and roses. I believe
in the sparks, the butterflies, and the lightheadedness that comes with
romance. I believe in soulmates, and risking it all for something I
want badly enough. I believe in finding someone who loves you for what
you are; for everything you are, the good and the bad.
I am a good person who cares about people. I love my family and
friends. I love them with everything that I am. And I would give my
life for my mother, my best friend. I am kind, and generous, and I
believe in myself. I don't have problems, I'm not depressed or ashamed
of myself like most people are in this world today. I don't wake up and
wish I was someone else, because I love who I am and what I have.
I am not perfect. I've made mistakes and I have regrets. Everyone
has those things, and I'm no different. I can't do anything about them,
except learn from them, and do better next time. But I can't and won't
sit around and wish I had done things differently. This is my life,
right now. It won't wait for me to get back on my feet.
This is what I am. There's more to me than just words on a page, but I guess you'll just have to figure that out on your own.
