standing on my own

Saturday, Apr. 24, 2004 at 8:46 A.M.

We were at a seminar/activity for work yesterday and we were talking about effective communication and the leader asked us to think of someone �elder� who we really respect, and what is it about them that inspires that respect. And I realized that I no longer have someone like that. I used to respect my grandmamma that way, but after feeling so attacked during the �confrontation� during my trip i9n match, I no longer have such a glowing respect.

So I was sitting there realizing that I no longer have this long standing icon that I am aiming to be like. I have just realized that I am no longer pulling myself up this hill behind someone, striving to be like them, but I am standing out on my own.

I am no longer in the shadow of some false icon, I am blazing my own trail, following in the path of no one.

It has been a weight lifted, i am no loger held down by an unreal expectation for myself. All i need to do is be me, do what i think is right, and stop comparing myself to others.

You have to figure ... if the world's fattest twins can find love, there's hope for all of us. Somewhere out there is another little freak who will love us, understand us, and kiss our three heads and make it all better.
