Who am I?

Who am I? This is an ongoing question in my life, so it seems a good time to explore it for others to consume...

I am not short, nor tall, not truly fat but definitely not thin. I am a runner. I try to be a little stylish but most of the time I wonder if it looks like I am trying too hard.

My hair is very very wavy and frizzy.

I have nice shoes.

I am a great one with directions, but only if they are given in cardinal terms.

I love chocolate, black beans, feta cheese, tomatoes, pastries and pasta. I do not much like meat, except in waves.

My life is a bit of a mystery to many, including me. I married young but I don't recommend it - it makes that growing up bit harder. My greatest embarrassment and shame in life caused me to spend almost a month in bed in what I later learnt was real, true depression. I have battled that ever since.

I love people. Even their craziness, and the things that drive me insane. And as I get older, I love people in their real states even more - the bad drivers, the bad dressers, the foul mouths, the adulterers, the prostitutes, the drug addicts, the loud and rude - all of them make up a part of who I am now. The more I come to accept, understand and really see people for who they are, the more I feel ok about who I am.

My children are of course the most beautiful, intelligent and emotionally sound of any around. Unless I am yelling at them.

Friends are something I value at least as much as family, and sometimes more. I believe you make your family and your home up as you go.

That is me. More or less.
