All my life….

All my life I have been told that I am “unique” “an individual” “different” and these terms are not always used in a complimentary way. I’m the first to admit that I do have my own way of looking at things, that’s true. I’ve decided to make a list of the things that I’ve been called out on…the good (in my opinion)  AND the bad.
· I don’t gossip—this drives most people crazy.
· I can’t help but see both sides of a situation—again, drives people crazy (myself included sometimes)
· I don’t usually make judgment calls.
· I’m pretty big on letting people be who they are.
· I always need to know WHY?  People hate this, especially the accepting type.
· It’s extremely rare for me to decide whether I like or dislike someone right away.  It can take years sometimes.
· I hate being told or expected to do ANYTHING.  Seriously... I can be about to do something that I want to do but if someone tells me I HAVE to it's as if I physically CANNOT.
· If I trip,  or do something stupid, I tell people about it!
· I would rather be in pain than uncomfortable…I know, crazy right?
· I rely on a combination of logic +my instincts.
· I eat only when I’m hungry…regardless of the time.
· I do what I want when I want…most have a HUGE problem with this one.
· I am the one who will give $5 to the person who is out of gas and tell them to give it back to someone else.
· I am also the one who will give $5 to that guy who has been out of gas 3 times this week at the same gas station & get called a sucker but I don’t care!
· I actually DO “drink coffee at midnight when the moment is not right.” But WHO SAYS WHAT’S RIGHT? WHO THE FUCK ARE “THEY?”
· I guess that when I’m given an inch…I take a mile? Whatever that means.
· I admit when people I don’t usually agree with are right (or good at something.)
· I can spend days (or weeks) alone and be perfectly alright with it.
· I actually do that last one & I call it a sabbatical.
· I actually like men better than women…mostly.
· I actually LIKE my boyfriend.
· I love to drink & do it whenever the mood strikes.
· I love to read-which surprises people…I’m never sure how to take that?
· I do things my way. This is usually a combination of ways I was shown & my way.
· I used to be very up-front with my opinions until a tragic event in my life caused me to be much quieter (I was actually called “more like a radical wallflower” recently.)
This list is getting a bit too long. I’ll have continue it;)
I’ve found that 99% of the regrets I have in this life stemmed from allowing others to convince me to go against my instincts. I think I’m done with that.
I’ll make my own mistakes from now on.

Fuck ‘em all;)
