"I am what I am - you ain't gotta love me"
Where do I begin?
The past few years have been a ride. I’ve made some major changes in my life, but I have no regrets. I cried, I laughed, I struggled, I achieved. I felt the pain of losing loved ones, I experienced the overwhelming joy of seeing new lives being brought into this world. I had my heart broken, mended & broken again. I moved, I gave up, I gained, I grew. I lost self-confidence, I became myself again. I said goodbye to some things in my life,
I started new ventures. I danced, I sang, I saw darkness, I found light. I fell, I got back up. I changed, yet I stayed the same.
I rekindled old friendships that I would not trade for the world. I made new friends that I cherish with every ounce of my soul. I held friends as they cried, I was held by friends as I cried. I laughed at friends, I got laughed at by friends.
I have had some amazing people by my side through these changes & I couldn’t have done it with out them. I wish I could hug each & every one of them everyday! I am so very fortunate to have them in my life!
I will be the 1st to admit that I’m not perfect, but hey, who is these days?
I try to be the friend, the daughter and the sister that everyone needs me to be. I love unconditionally, without hesitation and with every inch of my being. I trust entirely too much and very often get let down. I am the type of person that will give and give to the extreme, but when fed up, I can walk away and never look back. I've been told I put up a “strong†image, I think I’ve gotten rather good at it, but in all honesty I wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m extremely passionate and very “motherlyâ€. I do NOT like confrontation and I will go to great lengths to avoid it. I LOVE TO LAUGH!!!
I’ve learned that not everyone is out to screw you over. There are actually people in this world that will genuinely love & care for you. TAKE THE RISKS - You have to fall before you can get back up. I have been cheated on, lied to, taken for granted & had my heart broken, but I refuse to let previous experiences jade my perception of new people that come into my life.
Love your friends & family with all your heart because you never know when people will be taken from your life. Life is a very fragile & precious thing. DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED!
