There are pieces of me that I am just discovering, some pieces I thought I knew, some I had no idea of. So many things have happened over the past few years that make me who I am, all culminating with the word awesome.
There's the strong me. The one who will have something bad happen and try my hardest to hold it together.
There's the Sweet, Kind, Caring me. The person who will sympathize with anyone who's hurting. The me who will cry over a Hallmark commercial or a Lifetime movie. The me who puts everyone else first.
There's the sometimes shy me who will walk into a room of strangers for the first time and want to crawl out of my skin, only to quickly overcome said fear and let my presence be known
There's the Romantic me. The me who lives to be loved and loves to live.
There's the Confidant me. The me who has a dream and will realize it someday, the me who KNOWS there isn't anything I can not do.
There's the foot in mouth me, who often tells it like it is before thinking about how to put said criticism.
There's the writer, the wise-ass, the flamboyant, flip me, who'll hug and kiss you one minute and tell you "where to go" the next. . .always with a smile.
The me who shines through my eyes.
The instinctive me. The me who's body tells her EXACTLY what I need to know, if only I could speak the language or listen sometimes. That me is telling me to slow down. Who has time for that?
The expressive me, the quiet me. Never saying the same thing.
The demanding me who knows what I want when I want it and isn't afraid to let you know about it.
The daughter me with a set of awesome parents who have made me who I am.
The sister me with 3 siblings whom I love yet do not see near enough.
The friend me with a circle of friends I am truly blessed to know.
The in-law me who has a fabulous married into family.
The Mommy me with the most amazing daughter in the whole entire world.
The Wife me with the best partner and friend a girl could ask for.
Pieces of me... What a picture this puzzle will make when it's finally put together.
Until next time...
