speak clearly,
if you speak at all;
carve every word
before you let it fall.
-Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes
ok kids... it's here. i am going to have to learn how to say what i have to say with care. I am not always good at it.
i have been told that:
i am still in my terrible 2's (i don't think that’s true).
i 'cuss' a lot ( i think that might be true)
i am a talented and lazy girl (i will not incriminate myself)
i am a 'pro' (I’m not sure what she meant)
i am intimidating with my directness (passive aggressive bastards)
i am mean (she took it back later-but i know she thinks it)
i am evil (sometimes not evil enough)
i am a nymphomaniac (considering the source...)
i am bossy (shut up)
there are more but why bother? i note that most of the things that i listed are considered in most circles to be BAD traits. i think that i list them because i know what my strengths are and the bad things are the ones that i am not sure I’m ready to part with. things i think i might need or things that i cling to in order to define myself.
I can live with that.
I hope you enjoy this little bit of self-indulgence and I hope it inspires you to tell me stuff, tell me to shut the fuck up, tell me im NUTS, tell me im great, tell me your story, tell me your family's stories. Just tell me something.
