Who am I?
I’m the girl who rattles egg shakers at the drum circle because they remind me of my daughter at story time.
I’m the black sheep.
I’m curious about people.
I remember what people tell me, for the most part.
I’m highly sensitive, and this causes me to fly off the handle a lot. I wish people knew that my bark was worse than my bite, and that I just need to vent to feel better.
I’m a runner.
I’m an artist.
I’m a writer.
I’m a mom. Sometimes I can’t believe it.
I can be petty AF. I think most people are and just don’t admit it to themselves.
On that note, I’m one of the most honest people you will ever meet.
I’m not meant to work in an office. I just realized this. Any job that requires me to tone myself down is just not a good fit.
I’m an animal lover. If I was super rich I would endow shelters everywhere.
I’m a giggle girl.
I’m a piece of the puzzle.
I make up songs and sing them to my husband, my daughter and my dog.
I’m terrified to answer the phone, and seeing a voicemail indicator makes my heart start to pound.
I feel guilty all the time, which is a symptom of anxiety.
I suffer from impostor syndrome.
My boss told me yesterday – as I told him I was feeling insecure about my personality – that I would make a great spy. I answered, “Well, I am great at creeping on people.”
I get a thrill out of acting bitchy, but only if someone else is doing it with me. Safety in numbers.
I didn’t care about Disney Princesses when I was a kid. I only liked the Disney movies about animals. 101 Dalmatians is my absolute favorite.
Sometimes I wish I had continued dancing when I had the chance. I had listened to my parents fight about money a lot and I figured we couldn’t afford it so I said no when my mom offered to get me lessons after she stopped teaching.
I need to resolve fights. I need to talk about things until both people feel better. Unresolved feelings are difficult for me.
I’m impulsive.
I love to laugh at my daughter’s crocodile tears and sarcastically wonder aloud where she learned that behavior from.
I hate when people I don’t know ask me about my tattoos.
I feel ugly without makeup, but sometimes I still leave the house without wearing it.
I love cooking. It’s something I’ve rediscovered about myself after becoming a stay at home mom.
I feel the need to explain that I used to have a more prestigious job. At the same time, I don’t want that to be my career path anymore. I guess I just worry that people think I’m an idiot because I work at a gym. Isn’t that stupid?
I usually only give people an attitude when they do it to me first.
I’m able to go into a deeply relaxed state when I meditate, which involves strange feelings of paralysis. It used to scare me but now I know how special it is, and how rare.
I am an Aries sun, Aries moon, Gemini rising. My Venus and Mercury are also in Aries, and my Mars is in Taurus. I am a super Aries!
I’m going to be late for work if I keep writing, so I have to stop now.
