A little "getting to know you" activity...

I've had people call me a lot of things before. Mostly, these people don't know me, never get a clear picture of who I am, or read into me very little. Their conception of me, is simply a disaster. I lay my heart on my sleeve for the few people I actually trust enough to let into my crazy life. Some of my very best friends have yet to really "get" me. Mostly, I put up a good front, but occasionally, occasionally everything hangs out for the world to see. I feel vulnerable, I feel untamed, I feel....not myself at all. I don't know how to handle myself sometimes when the emotion floods out from every pore. It makes me feel like I know very little about myself in these situations, and then I remember that I'm a constantly evolving being who will change. I don't have everything figured out yet. I will continue to evolve into something I don't understand and will spend a lifetime trying to understand that.

In the meantime, this I know for sure (right now)....

I AM.....
