Battlecry!
>> 17 November 2009
I am not going to pretend everything is alright. I refuse to be plastic and superficial. I WILL NOT (OK, no longer) ever use the word fine.
As in
As in
“How are you?”
“Finnnneee”
I am a woman of extremes, of passions. I am wild and crazy and happy and joyous and sad. Hopeful and rambunctious. No longer will I allow myself to be pushed into a tiny, little box and forced to stay there. I am bigger than life.
No, that’s not a fat joke.
I will say what I think- even if you disagree. Even if you hold it against me. Even if it causes me untold problems. I will not hesitate to call you on your shit. I will not allow your beliefs to eclipse mine. I will not hold my tongue to be polite. To maintain the peace. Out of fear.
I will no longer pretend I don’t have problems. I WON'T DO IT- you can’t make me! I, like everyone else in the world, have problems. They aren’t the worst problems in the world nor are they trivial.
I will not pretend to be perfect. I am flawed, broken, a pain in the ass. It makes me interesting.
I will not allow you or anyone tell me I am not enough or not ok or unacceptable. Whether you be my family, my friend, the TV, or society. I am exceptional. I accept who I am.
Sure I’m scared and uncertain. Most of all I don’t know what to do next…for a control freak like me that’s the scariest thing of all. But for me…to rise, to conquer, to make this world my bitch, I embrace me.
Not who you think I should be.
Not who you think I should be.

This may be too forward, but...I love you.
Awesome battle cry!
Ahhhh Schmoopkins!
Nice! Very nice. I need to be more like this. I wouldn't worry about flaws and problems, I agree, they make people interesting.
That's great, but may I offer some friendly advice. May I suggest to refrain from telling anyone that you are feeling "gas-y" today, as it really leaves them confused and at a loss for words. I speak from experience: http://lifeaseyeseeit.blogspot.com/2008/10/too-much-information.html
