Life

I feel like I live life harder than I have to, but since it's the only way I know how to live, I am learning to embrace it.

I recently had a friend write to me, 'be exciting, if you can't be careful'.

He knows me well.

My response was, I am very hard on the things and people that cross my path. I suppose that is why I cherish the ones that actually appreciate my journey. And admire the brave ones that hold my hand. Feelings get trampled, lines crossed, and I will hurt you if I think I have to. That is all part of what it means to be close to me. But there is also passion, excitement, genuine affection, and a wicked sense of humor...on my good days.

You have to accept the whole package. Me. Appreciate where I am in my life.

Most of all, I need to accept and appreciate it also.
