Welcome to the story of my life.

For those of you who don't know me, I like to refer to myself as a:

spit·fire

/ˈspitˌfī(ə)r/

noun

1. a person with a fierce temper or 

   a quick-tempered or highly emotional person.
2. 
   

You may wonder why I'm proud of that, and the truth is, I have come such a long way in my 29 years on earth that I AM PROUD of the woman I am becoming. There was no pride in being timid, allowing people to walk all over me and not only fearing who I am, but feeling a constant sense of embarrassment walking in my own shoes. I am fierce, I do have a temper but I am learning to control it and express it in a mature manner. I am highly emotional, and as much as that used to mean I cry a lot, that is not at all how I use this adjective now. I have strong feelings, about everything and really feel everything to my core.

Now let's be honest here, I am more than the sassy portrait most people know me as.

strong-mind·ed

/ˈˌstrôNG ˈˌmīndid/

adjective

1. not easily influenced by others; resolute and determined.

   "a strong-minded, independent woman"

That's more like it. You know how damn proud I am to be achieving this title? I am a born leader and not a follower, thankfully, but I was so afraid that my mind often took over my body and held me back in my teenage years. I have developed such a strong mindset these past few years and truly feel and show independence. I will continue to chase my dreams and I can't wait to share my life long dream of blogging with anyone who is willing to listen (or read).
