First and foremost, I'm a woman. Not a giggly little girl who has barely gotten her braces off, or a young woman who hasn't tasted life yet. I'm a woman who has a distinctive personality, one who can laugh at anything, including myself. I'm kind and caring to others. I'm non-confrontational and I'll avoid saying or doing anything at all that will hurt your feelings even at the risk of me being hurt. Don't think I'm not passionate however. I'm more passionate than those that have eruptive personalities; I just know how to show my passion in ways that count. I think that women who use their passion as an excuse to blow up at friends and lovers is just an excuse for a bad temper that they never learned to control. I'll listen to you and will never force feed you my opinion. I'm not self-serving nor self-righteousI know the value of having fun, while not taking myself too seriously. You can count on me to brighten your day. I'm one of a kind... there's no one else like me. I'm the type of woman who can make you feel really good just by being around me, and I'm afraid that it may make you sad when I'm gone. If you step into my life, and if I love you, I'll adore you forever. And if for some reason we part paths, you'll miss me and never find another soul like mine. I have an artistic history, and this causes me to see things a little differently than most people. And when I say see, I mean I honestly see the world in a totally different way than most. My focus is different, and I can be mistaken as being a little off-beat. I have to admit that I like this perception, as there's nothing wrong with my life's rhythm. Now if you say I'm not graceful, you may be correct. I'm the one most often to turn around too quickly, or not watch where I'm walking and meet a face to face obstruction with a wall. Don't let this quirk lead you to believe that I'm not classy. I'm classy from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. I have the largest heart you will ever experience, and I'm one of the most gracious people you will ever know.I'm the kind of person who not only notices the clouds in my coffee, but will become intoxicated by them. I don't see the world in typical black and whites, but in the multifaceted rainbow that God intended us to see. I feel a bit of pity for those who can't experience life like this. I tend to have strong opinions, but I usually keep those to myself, unless you ask me for them, in which case I'll easily share them with you... and in the kindest way possible. I have the utmost regard for the feelings of others, and I'll respect your opinions as long as you respect mine. I have several very special people in my life, and I let them know it. I've learned to use the word love sparingly. I believe that popular culture has bastardized the word into a corrupt shape, and I'm earnestly looking for a word that's larger than the word love.It makes me feel small if I learn that pet names used for me are not reserved for me and are used on every woman a man knows. I know, it's strange but true. If I have a pet name for you, I don't use it with anyone else.I enjoy the small moments as much as the large ones. I can find beauty in everything. I forgive others easily while having a hard time in forgiving myself. Unfortunately, as hard as I try I will not forget. I dream in color, and I know that I can smell in my dreams. I like to play video games.I love live music. I love acoustic music. I would rather sit in a coffee shop and hear someone live than a crowded arena and go deaf, so, I support the local musical artists. Yes, I play the guitar but I'd rather listen to others play. Maybe that's because they can sing, and I really shouldn't.I'm a parent of two wonderful young adults. While they both make me completely crazy, I love them with my whole heart. I'm a wonderful mother, I know this because my kids not only tell me, but I've watched them both blossom into the incredible people they are. It's not all genetics; some of it is because my heart has molded them. I'm an animal lover. My kids and I share our home with one dog, three cats, and a ferrett.I have more male friends than female. While I get along just fine with women I can't stand their jealous natures. I try to hold jealousy at bay in my own life, it's ugly. I guess I simply have more fun with men. They're more honest, less catty, they don't compete with me and I enjoy their friendship. Thanks for taking the time to read all this.. now let's let time go lightly together.
