I am the femme still discovering myself...learning that the person I have always been is truly just fine...even with my many contradictions.
I am quiet and frequently shy...but laugh loud enough to be heard down the block, and am happy to talk on stage in front of hundreds.
I am analytical and intelligent...but scattered and sometimes struggle with the simplest things.
I am a doting and indulgent mother who puts my son's well-being first in all things. I am the almost-stepmom who looks forward to putting my partner's son in the same place in my life and heart.
I am loving, accomodating, taking care of those I care about.
I have infinite patience with the young, the old, the sick, and those who are doing their best....no matter how little that may be. I have no patience at all with stupidity, cruelty, hypocrisy, arrogance and posers.
I have an incredibly long fuse and am very slow to anger...the bomb at the end, however, is large. You don't want to let it get there.
I endure. Growing up in a narcissistic household I was taught that I did not matter, that my needs didn't count, and that my purpose was only to provide for others. I have learned that these are lies. That took time...and some difficult experiences. I had to sit at the bottom looking up to see the truth.
With most people, I trust quickly but not deeply. I truly trust two people on this earth...and am not related by blood to either of them.
I take people at face value and give them the benefit of the doubt...until they prove otherwise. Once someone shows me that I cannot trust them...then I am done. I have a long memory...for both kindness and cruelty.
I love peace, compromise, quiet and order.
I have a silly side...which I indulge. I turn 8 years old the minute I walk through the gates at DisneyWorld. I like that.
I love the beach more than any other place on the planet. I enjoy simple things...going for a drive, flea markets, going to the movies, bbq in the backyard.
I love to travel...and look forward to exploring more of the world with my partner.
I cook, bake, love polka dots and kitten heels...I am Betty Crocker with an MBA.
I am affectionate...I love to hug, kiss, dance barefoot in the kitchen.
I work hard, but not fast...and I achieve my goals. I am persistent. I am stubborn, opinionated, pushy and...if you read this far you already know...I'm wordy.
