| What I Want...
A) An office furnished to my tastes where outsider visitation is rare. B) To be inundated with silence or noise at my discretion. C) To be fully in the moment and not think about what else I could be doing. D) To give 100% to everyone and everything without denying either. E) To be insanely honest while informing people that withholding is not the same as lying. F) To learn to speak and write proper English without coming off as pretentious. G) To be disciplined and organized as those are the keys to success, so they tell me. H) To throw it all away, become someone's wife and mother. I) To clarify that my mind is subject to change and I may laugh at H) tomorrow. & What Is For You To Know... J) I am mentally unbalanced, but I try really hard. K) In the end you either love me or hate me. L) Your thoughts on K) are okay with me. I will not hold them against you. M) I can live with or without you and neither is necessarily preferable-- they simply are. N) The above is nothing personal. O) If I had my druthers, I would live in a library and leave it sparingly and regrettably. P) I am very much in my own head and you have to draw me out. Q) I often feel like a fraud and am usually waiting to be found out. R) I believe the human race is crap, but I keep rooting for the individual. S) The older I get, the more of an elitist bitch I become. T) I behave like a cantankerous old fart set in her ways. U) I would love to be opened up and injected with the youthfulness I never had. V) I will not judge you, but fear you will eventually judge me. W) If you trust people to be honest with you because you are with them, you are likely to be disappointed. X) I've lost count the number of times I have been disappointed. Y) My apologies if being a part of my life causes you distress and is a pain in the ass. Z) I love you and thank you for letting me be me. |
