Why I Am So 'Me Centric' Me, Me, Me, Me!

I spent every single day of my life as a child making promises to myself to fill all the holes the 'adults' had created for me.

I promised not to be poor, not to be unintelligent, not to be without a career and money to care for myself. I promised to be a honest person who would own up to their faults, I even promised that if one day I had a child I would break the chain, and actually love it.

However, even with all of those promises there are somethings I have no control over.

I can't give myself a mother that loves me. I can't give myself a family that loves me or supports me.

I can't even give myself a man that will respect my strengths, accept and work with me on my weaknesses, and simply love me as wholly as I would love him.

But, I can work really hard at earning things and ensuring that I keep those 'little girl lost' promises to myself.

So if you find yourself wondering why I resigned another position, moved across country again, told a flaky friend to exclude me from their life, or pushed another fake boyfriend away, its because I'm doing me, me, me!
