I was at a party the other night and half-heartedly clapping my hands to the music. I didn't really like the song. One of the guests came up to me and commented on my unenthusiastic and offbeat clapping. He'd never seen me do that before. Usually I am in the center of the circle, dancing away to my heart's content, feeling the rhythm of the music with every fiber of my being.
Reminds me of my approach to life. I'm either in or I'm out. I'm either friends with someone or I'm friendly with them. I have no enemies. I always give people room to grow but if I feel like they have disrespected me or not treated me how I deserved, I don't have a problem walking away. I give lots of second chances but once I'm done, I'm done.
I have a hard time pretending. I have a hard time hiding who I truly am, although the innermost parts of me trickle out slowly with time. I love being me and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love when one has those moments of clarity about one's life approach. An old co-worker one told me "the way you do dishes is the way you do everything". I laughed, but it was true.
