I like girlie things... I like to have good hair, and my nails done. I've never mowed a lawn, and I hate getting dirty. I love to shop and sometimes watch the QVC channel. My eyes go really blue when I cry and I blush easily. I get nervous when guys flirt with me and I haven't had a drink. I'm honest, loyal, and real. My friends mean everything to me, and my kids are my whole world. I find comfort in the rain, and the thunder still scares me. I love to dream and am scared of the dark. I have lots of "baggage" but to me... its what makes me happy. I am me. :) I am no one else. You either love me or hate me. I love to laugh, and make others laugh. I generally have a smile on my face and when I don't everyone worries. I am a mom, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I love me. And I am completely okay with being the one who makes me happy. I am proud of who I am. I am okay with picking up the pieces of my own life and not being rescued. And no obstacle that comes my way will stop me..... I will conquer all. No peak is too high for me, and I will always encourage my children to never give up. Because if giving up was an option... I wouldn't be where I am. I am me.... and I am proud to say that.
"“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.” - Virginia Satir
