It's funny how one person can change your perspective.
I don't know that I will ever be the person that anyone NEEDS me to be. I am who I am. I make no apologies.
Being comfortable in your own skin is both freeing and a burden. I can see the judgements, and hear the looks. Screw you.
And then....I think...who am I really screwing? Maybe, just maybe, I'm the problem.
And then you meet someone...someone that makes sense, and feels right....and yet....ahhh.....you know....
I have to be different people at many different times. I am a mother...and that makes me stable. I am a worker, in a male dominated profession, and that makes me hard. I am a single woman, and that makes me independent and tough. I have to be responsible, and resilient, and understanding. I am also a person that is loving and faithful. Boil all this in a pot....and somehow, it just doesn't work for many. It works for me.
Right or wrong...it's just me. So if I have to accumulate 30 cats and live alone, it's what I'll do. But you.....have changed my perspective. I now see that...more than ever.....I'm ok.
And it won't be cats...it will be dogs.
I can't be anyone but exactly who I am.
