Just Catching a Cool Breeze...Direction unknown.

About Me

tennaya layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.comI am a young woman, full of drive, ambition and intelligence. I have accomplished lots and plan on accomplishing more. I hate being mistaken and misunderstood, so please don't take my niceness for weakness. I've been told that I can be very generous, supportive, honest, trustworthy, faithful, understanding, loyal..very motherly in general. Granted, everyone may not agree and I'm leaving some things out, but I can do that because this is MYSPACE, not YOURSPACE. lol.I've realized that life is only what you make of it...what will you make of yours?

get code @ MyHotCommentsI've been told that I'm often conceited and that I have a big head...why is that? Is it because I graduated from college with honors, because I've just completed a very difficult Masters program in the Teaching of English as a Second Language/Applied Linguistics at Teachers College, Columbia University while teaching fulltime as a third grade gifted teacher? Is it because I like to travel and can discuss the places I've been and the cultures I've been exposed to? Or maybe it's because at my young and tender age of 24, I've seen and accomplished more than those older than me? Who knows. Could it be because I'm quick to compliment and love myself, knowing that if I don't, then who will? Or could it be that I like and want what I want, when I want it. Yeah..that might be it. Don't allow my strength to be your weakness, my outspokenness to be your shyness, my self esteem to be your insecurity. I'm confident, but have also learned that humble pie needs to be in one's daily diet. If you want to mistake my confidence for conceit, then go ahead...I'm conceited, I got a reason.

I'd like to meet:

Just Catching a Cool Breeze...Direction Unknown. Not too hot, not enough warmth to fully embrace and complain about...Not too cold, not frigid enough to make you wish for warmer days. Not strong enough to make you take shelter and hide. Not fierce enough to take your breath away. Not noticeable enough for you to miss or long for more. It's either coming or going, but not rough enough to move you. Filled with tiny particles of life, falling upon you creating a new skin, that will eventually blow away as well. Blowing away lingering thoughts, questions and doubts, but not fast enough or powerful enough to blow them far away in the distance, where they can't be caught. Thoughts, insecurites, questions, hopes, just sitting on the horizon waiting for the next cool breeze to blow them away...somewhere...back to start or to the next rest stop. Just sitting, standing, feeling, wondering, hoping... just catching a cool breeze, direction unknown.
