Standing tall for myself--forever & ever, amen.

[beingreal]

of being so true to who YOU are that it does not make a fu*king difference what I, Grit, Cat or anyone else on these boards think.

I've got half of that equation down in that I don't care what people think of me. No offense. I stopped doing that a long time ago. At 5'11", you don't have red hair & wear tinkerbell scrubs to the grocery store or write a freaking column for the newspaper if you really care what other people think of you.

Seriously. No smoke.


I know why I don't trust, and I know *why* the first wall went up. And no Pink Floyd... they were putting more bricks in the wall. Not what I need. So if we both know why--are you really going to make me go there?


Grit--the victim mentality ended a long time ago. I went from playing the victim to picking up my proverbial sword and playing the Warrior Princess. I won't volunteer to be hurt... but I am more than happy to kick someone's a$$ before the get the chance to hurt me.

Not sure there is much of a difference other than one is too weak & one is too strong. Neither leave much room for building healthy relationships.


No wonder I have such a freaking block writing this last column.

I picked forgiveness as my topic.

Ha.

I'm going to need more coffee.
