Real Talk About

My immediate thought is I would be me. I know that most people would say that they would want to be somebody else, that they would be taller, prettier, with more money, with more smarts or talent. Or talent. But I am happy with who I am including my imperfections, my flaws, my challenges.

I chose that I would be myself because it’s all I know And lived. I know how to fix my hair if it’s messed up because I’ve been doing it for 50 years. I know what clothes fit my body best. I know what makeup looks better on me. I know how to solve the problems of life and challenges that may arise. I know how to deescalate myself when I’m upset or frustrated or stressed. I know what makes me happy. I know how to give love and how to receive love. I am uniquely me with all parts that exist and I wouldn’t want to give that up. Not even for a day..
