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.
