i am woman

With each passing day, I am enjoying the woman that I am becoming.
In no way, shape, or form, do I believe that I know everything about myself.
But I can confidently say.....
I know what makes me happy
I know which episode of Grey's that will make me shed a million tears
I know that I can be unabashedly honest with myself and others
To the point where people have called me mean
To the point where being called mean is laughable
I've never used honesty for evil
I know that I am clumsy (who trips on air?????!)
I say all of this to say,
With twenty-fours years under my belt,
I know things about myself
and I absolutely love that
I know that there are things that I would never do
Even in those "dare to be different" moments
I am cautious
Spontaneity is not my thing
and I am okay with that
I am operating within a space of
acknowledgement
I think this past year,
has allowed me the opportunity to learn things about myself
I never spell opportunity correctly the first time
I know what I will or will not tolerate
I know that when the boy I like doesn't text me back immediately
My breath gets stuck
 And when the text is returned
everything is right with the world
I know that I'm not perfect
I know that with every
mistake
misstep
there is a lesson
I know that I don't care to receive apologies
nor do I like to give them
I know that Laz and I are meant to be ;-)
I know that each friendship has a function
and each person has a season
I know that I love the woman that I'm becoming

I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull. ---- Auntie Oprah
