I am who I am and I am done fighting

Well once again I find myself fighting the battle over who I am.  I am comfortable with who I am.  I found my identity and personality over the past few years and finally felt confident.  Due to recent circumstances I began to question what was wrong with me and I was humbled at the answer of nothing.  Why do we always assume something is wrong with someone if that person has a different personality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or anything else that makes a person a person?

I am a strong independent woman.  I am not a bitch nor do I purposely try to hurt another person.  I am the first person to apologize if I know something I said hurt someone. With that said I am also the first person to call someone else out on their crap.  Yes I do need to learn how to do this less abruptly, but I will never be able to coddle.  I am passionate about certain topics which also means I am very educated in that topic.  It may come across as brash when I discuss it, but again don't you when you are passionate about something?

My point in this is to remind you that I am Cheri.  I am not a bitch, insensitive, rude, hateful, or whatever negative thing you want to say about me.  If you perceive this let me clarify for you one last time because I am tired of fighting this battle.  I am a STRONG, INDEPENDENT, INTELLIGENT, CARING, HONEST, HARD WORKING, DEVOTED, LOYAL, TRUST WORTHY, FRIEND, CONFIDENT IN MY IDENTITY, AND HUMAN.  

THIS ALSO MEANS I HAVE WEAKNESSES, BUT THEY SURE THE HELL OUR NOT YOURS TO POINT OUT BECAUSE JUST LIKE ME YOU HAVE THEM TOO!!!! 

So if you feel the need to look at mine can I suggest first to work on your own and then once you are perfect I might seek for your help in mine.  Blunt yes did I forget to mention that as well ;). If you cannot except me as I am then feel free to not associate with me.  I won't hold it against you because that is your right and I won't feel bad, but don't take it as an invitation to say what you want about me.  I am done fighting!  Not because I am weak, but because I am finally strong enough to just be me and be happy!  For those who see me as me and love me THANK YOU!
