I come from a long line of make-or-breakers, and for that I am thankful. When strangers say hello to me, I greet them back, just as my mother taught me. When I try, I sometimes succeed, and I sometimes fail, but I breathe an innocent breath, Knowing that I did my best. I have a thousand stories to tell, stories you may not believe. I have standards. I have feelings. I have emotions. I have a heart. I can hurt. When I sleep at night, I dream of the real and fantasy. When I breathe, I do so thankfully. When I laugh, I do so joyously. I have a past. I have a future. I have beliefs. I have morals. I have opinions, and I have rights, and I understand that those two things are not always interchangeable. I am a proud, intelligent woman. I am a caring, understanding woman. I am a wise, hopeful woman. I know how to nurture, and how to be nurtured in return. I am honest, my heart is as pure as possible. I mean no harm. I will die someday and let my epitaph be such: that if I ever hurt a soul on Earth, it was done so unknowingly, for if I had known, I’d have rather died a much sooner death. I understand that love is the greatest universal power there is, and that is my religion.
