So…

I’ve a lot about having had a lot of shit happen in my life.

And here’s the thing:

Cuz I gotta be really and truly honest…

Part of why having had some shit???? Like a lot of shit????

Cuz I’m bit of a “wild child” by some… OKAY: MANY PEOPLE’S STANDARDS.

How?

Dad would love to tell a story to about how when I was a kid?

See… We had lots of dogs when I was really small. And when you were little? Maybe you banged on pots and pans. Consider your response when you heard others coming. Did you hide? ME? I banged that much faster. Dude!! I had to get in what I could while I could.

Yup. Dad said that he once tried to take away the pots and pans from me. And I got on all fours, growled, and bit his ankle like our dogs did when you take away their toys.

I also had great pleasure when I discovered my mom’s pinking shears. Those fancy scissors helped me cut holes in my black out curtains to stop taking lame naps. I also cut the carpet, gave the cat a haircut, and the piece de resistance??? I cut off one arm of every piece of clothing in my closet cuz I could easily reach them. Had I given it more thought? I probably would have cut off the sleeve on the other side. But dude?? Little kids have training wheels when it comes to “master plans.”

What else?

Absolutely so many more stories of me being naughty.

BUT BUT BUT THERE”S MORE…

I’ve also been considered wild for a long time cuz… Sure?? I’ve put myself into all sorts of positions AND OBSERVE. That’s the real secret: OBSERVE. Patterns become apparent. People reveal themselves. Not always right away. GIVE IT TIME. Dude?? I know folks do this with me too:

AND?

It comes down to something simple: I’ve got shit to do. ALWAYS. I’m also trusting myself through this process more and more. So? I feel that incredible freedom that I did when I was a kid with those pots and pans: GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!! GOING BIG!! Yeah, baby!!

As always: Have a glamorous day for fun!!
