- I endorse diversity. I am not comfortable with racism, sexism, discrimination of any kind.
- I am anti-violence. Fighting doesn't impress me. When friends get into bar fights, I leave, or if I've been drinking, I throw myself in the middle and try and nag people into stopping.
- I am a feminist, a proud independent woman. When I wait on a man (or a woman) I expect them to know that it is because I like them. I expect appreciation for this, and it won't be every time.
- I am the child of an alcoholic. Not since university have I hung around with anyone who regularly goes on three or four day tears. I know the shit that can (and likely will) result.
- I have been born and bred almost specifically to be very comfortable (at least for a while) in dysfunctional relationships. If Mr. Entirely Wrong is in the room, I'll find him, and probably fall into the 'have-to-have-him' zone. I have to be vigilant about that.
Just felt the need to remind myself of these things. It is important that, whatever happens, you don't lose too much of yourself.
