What I am:
... emotionally bruised. Damaged goods, I suppose.
... trying to be less angry and vengeful.
.... trying not to give in to temptation.
... a worthless friend sometimes.
... a not-so-good mom some days.
... a lazy housekeeper. I'll do it when it needs doing, but hardly ever before.
... "flighty" (my dad's words)
... selfish.
... a wanna be, trying-to-be Zen warrior.
...sensitive to other people's perceptions of me.
... afraid of confrontation for confrontation's sake. I'll do it when I have to, but I don't like it.
... acutely aware of my failings and flaws. I don't need your mirror to show me what's wrong with my personality, I can see well enough on my own, thanks.
What I am not:
... dishonest.
... egotistical. (although part of me thinks that writing an article such as this is more than a little egotistical and wonders why I'm doing it)
... materialistic.
... a doormat. Don't walk on me.
... devoid of feelings. I hurt the same as everyone else does.
