Winter Snapshots of My True Self...
Wintertime turns me into a bear....oh how I wish I could hibernate till the sun comes out! Here are my beary growlings....
- It doesn’t matter how many years I’ve been doing it, I simply will NEVER get used to waking up at 6:00 a.m. NEVER. I hate it every single morning, have hated it every morning for the last 10 years and will continue to hate it every morning for the next 30 years.
- Im not a morning person and do not like to be talked to before I’ve had at least one cup of coffee (but its even better if you wait till after the 2nd cup). If I must speak, I say as few words as possible. Grunts and growls are mostly what come out.
- I don’t like people bothering me and I try to keep mostly to myself. I don’t socialize much at work, unless it’s a cute or hot guy, in which case I turn the charm full on. Otherwise, its scowls and glares for the rest of the world.
- Im not a nice person, unless the sun is out. Wintertime finds me very cross and mean. I hate being cold. And cold mornings are the worst.
- A smile or attention from a cute guy, however, can dissipate the bitterest of my moods…I melt like an icicle caught in a ray of sunshine. That high can last for several hours afterwards as I float dreamily through the rest of the day. Till I remember I will never be with someone so completely out of my league and I come crashing back down to earth. Then out comes the bitter scowl again…and the bitchy meanness that pervades my very soul.
- I don’t like people. for the most part. I can tolerate them at times and there are groups of people whose company I actually enjoy. But people in general as a species annoy the hell out of me. I wouldn’t mind living in the world all alone.
- My home is my haven. I don’t like leaving it unless its to go somewhere fun and exciting.
- Im 35 but still feel 25 inside. If only the image in the mirror agreed.
- Disney still captivates me, no matter how old I get nor how many times I go there. It’s a magical place.
- Acting makes me happy. Being involved with plays is where I feel true fulfillment and the greatest joy. Everything else simply feels like a footnote.
- I’ve had to put my life on hold while I raise another person and while I love him dearly, I cant wait till he turns 18 so that I can pursue my own dreams.
- I hate my job with a passion. It drains every ounce of happiness and energy away, leaving crumbs for the rest of my life.
- I love God, but I hate religion. Which leaves me in a middle of nowhere kinda state. And im well aware what the bible has to say about us lukewarm, neither here nor there peeps…(I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:15-16) Not a pretty picture. Even so, I find both sides so extreme. I just want to be me, enjoy life on my terms and still go to heaven anyways.
A few comments on my part. I don’t mean this in a disrespectful way (In other words, ain’t nobody trying to hit on you, I got a woman!, lol) but you are a very beautiful woman. You seem to be respectful, hard working sweet and sour, lol. You seem to have a great personality and you love God. You seem to be a great mom and an overall great person. How exactly do you figure that anybody would be out of your league? You need to change that mentality, huli!
ReplyDeleteI feel you on not liking people… and I’m what you call a people person, lol. They piss me off. Most of them do. Even those I love piss me off a lot of the time. The trick is to just tolerate them I guess.
I’m 27 but I feel 21! Lol I can’t even believe I’m 27. It’s like where did time go? You know I don’t even get carded for drinks anymore? How sad is that? Lol
I hate being at my workplace. I don’t like the people. I feel like I am meant for so much more and yet here I have been… for three years… wasting away, lol. I need a new job!
God and religion are two VERY separate things. They say it’s about relationship but then tie you down with their religion. And yet I have finally found a balance! I enjoy life but have an intimate relationship with my savior. Love jesus but I drink once in a while, lol. It’s actually not that hard. It does take reading the word, studying the word, praying, worshipping and attending church (hardest part). It’s learning to discover who He really is, knowing what I really need (not just want) and being willing to let go of anything at anytime, upon His word! It’s falling in love with Him for who He really is, discovering more of him and his love and enjoying This life he gave us. Its not going completely buck wild where you just defy all his laws on purpose, but letting grace be grace when its needed and learning not to abuse it. And if there is something that I can’t stop and can’t quit, I know He will be faithful to strip it away from me when I come into His presence everyday.
aw, thanks for the compliment J! i guess i always see myself in a different light.
ReplyDeletei dont entirely dislike people, just lately seem to be very annoyed with them. i blame the winter on that. im so cranky! i need to move to a sunshine state. i feel ya on the workplace thing..same here except i've been here 10 years..feels like 100.
and finally, i like your take on God. :) my church, unfortunately, can get mired down in rules...i dont know. i need to fall back in love with Jesus.
