Title: I want.
Post by: Sarah_Faith on October 17, 2009, 09:20:19 PM
Hi all. Just back from a good night, was DJing tonight and was good fun. I'm feeling passionate, so I thought I'd type up a kind of post-modern-not-so-poetic as a verbal expression of my deepest feelings and non-optional aspirations.

I want to be me.
I want to feel free to talk to people as me.
I want to feel normal.
I want to be at ease.
I want to understand myself.
I want to understand this.
I want to look average.
I want to have long hair.
I want to have people perceive me as I perceive me.
I want to go out as me and not worry that it will be questioned otherwise.
I want to have people understand that which I don't.
I want to not have to worry about the future unnecessarily.
I want to be accepted.
I want to, again, be an average woman.
I want to wear what I'm genuinely comfortable in.
I want to get past the unfathomable inability to understand this.
I want people to know what I am certain of.
I want to help all of you.
I want to be me.

:)

Thank you all for everything. You are beautiful inside and out. You have my love and admiration.x

That surely is how it should be!  It's beautiful, to the point, and it's what we all wish!
