On Me
January 9, 2007
If you really knew me you would know that I sucked my thumb until I was 7.
If you really knew me you would know that I cried during a wedding last year not only due to happiness for the bride and groom but fear that I would never get married.
If you really knew me you would know that I tried to kill myself once but failed.
If you really knew me you would know I hate doing the dishes.
If you really knew me you would know I felt my more a big sister to my brother than a little sister.
If you really knew me you would know that I felt like my University graduation didn’t matter to people.
If you really knew me you would know you would know I’m no longer a victim of violence at the hands of a boyfriend but a survivor.
If you really knew me you would know that sometimes I fear no one will love me as deeply or as purely as my cat.
If you really knew me you would know I married the person that makes me want to be a better person.
If you really knew me you would know I scored in the top 5% on the LSAT but didn’t have the guts to apply for law school.
If you really knew me you would know that one of my guilty pleasures is eating ice cream straight out of the carton.
