First and foremost, I pride myself on the mother that I am to my one-year-old daughter. Not everyone can be a good mom. It's not easy, but I am.
I am a respectful person when it's due. If I extend courtesy to someone, I expect the same in turn. I'm too free with my tongue at times, occasionally to my detriment, but I will not be the person that looks back on a situation in hindsight and wishes that they said something. Everyone has an opinion, whether right or wrong, and I will think things through and determine how I feel. I may be wrong. If I am, I have no problem admitting that I made a mistake. At least I said something in the first place.
I stand up for my friends when they're unable to do so for themselves, and sometimes even when they can but don't. I can handle being insulted. The way I see it, you can't insult someone that doesn't give a shit about you.
I don't yell at people when I'm trying to get my point across. People have a tendency to stop listening when they hear yelling. I would much rather speak calmly and intelligently.
I don't call people that I just met "a friend of mine". I love my friends as extensions of my family, and I don't love strangers. I don't really even like strangers. I have higher expectations for my friends than anyone else.
I have a low tolerance for ignorance. I don't need to make other people feel bad to make myself look better, but I will not be walked on. I have a code of conduct that I expect from people that is essentially the Golden Rule and I get angry when I'm told that I'm expecting too much in that aspect. As a member of the human race, certain things should not be so hard to grasp, but somehow, amazingly, they are.
I don't argue, I debate. I believe in free will. Whether you want to be a housewife or career-oriented, make your own choices. I have no pity for people whose lives are controlled by a spouse, parents, or anyone else imposing their wishes upon someone else. Make your own choices, and when you do be happy with them. Don't complain about something that you're making no effort to change, and that would be easy to change with a little decisive action.
I'm bossy, detail-centric, inquisitive, sometimes impatient, occasionally hot-headed, I've hurt feelings and I've had mine hurt. I have good points and bad points and I'm okay with all of them. I've outgrown conformity and now choose comfort and contentment to the cookie cutter.
I'm strong, proud, and opinionated. I work, play, and love hard. I don't thrive on approval, and I don't need a membership to HBI to be perfectly happy in my life. I am, however, always looking for like-minded people to converse with and would consider acceptance what it is: an honor and a privilege. To whomever is reading this submission, thank you for taking the time out to read my words.
