I will never be "perfect"
My scars and imperfections define me to a certain degree... each one a reminder of a pain I have made it through.
I will never be "Skinny" or "Beautiful"
And that’s OK. I kick ass... I have something better than skinny and beautiful... I have character. And Class. And those are two things you don't see much of these days. I can live with that.
I traded having a flat stomach for having beautiful children... I never looked back.
I have moments of intense vulnerability... The likely hood of ANYONE knowing when these moments are is slim to none. I keep them to myself pretty effectively. I realize this is a defense mechanism... I also know its not one I will ever be able to move past.
I am more complicated than I would like to be... I have depth, and I have facets that could drive a lesser being into madness. I hate it... I love it... I can be completely consumed by it, and some days, completely repulsed by it. None the less... I accept it.
I somehow manage to be very wise, and very youthful all at once. Even I’m not sure how I pull that one off!
I will never forget who I was... but I will never stop redefining who I am becoming.
I have a very hard time trusting anymore. I had all of the trust within me flushed down someone else’s drain. But... I manage to trust those few truly important people. And I’m pretty sure that’s what counts.
