I've said that I'm a drifter, I've said it for many years. When the hardest time in my life started, my bark was stripped off. I want to be strong, like oak but I have become insecure. I agree with things I would not approve of just so people will not chop me down anymore. I need to be grounded. People come and go. To me, this means I have to drift. I must not get too attached. I have trouble trusting anyone. I don't know what my roots are either. I don't know what my real personality is. I get bits and prices of others and incorporate it into mine. my branches have been carved and broken. I have become plywood. Plywood that does not fit anyone's needs. I have a hard time using words like "Love" or "Best" to describe my feelings. I see them as reserved words. My heartwood is getting stronger but my heart is not.
I forgot I wrote this. I found it the other day in my notebook.
