However, as each year passes, I am recognizing that squashing this faucet of my personality is denying a part of who I am and it sucks. I am just not that girl that will nod my head while smiling and say that all is great when in fact it is not.
Instead, I am a girl that speaks her mind, stands up for herself, and is willing to tell it like it is knowing that the consequences may not always be bliss. If we were to boil this down to flight or fight... I am all fight, baby.
But I don't think this is a bad thing... Instead of feeling beat down in tough situations, I am empowered. One always knows where they stand with me. If I want something bad enough, my stubborn passion will make it happen when others would just give up. And if you ever want a real opinion on how you look in that dress, I will tell you with love that your butt does not look as good as you think it does and point you in the direction of an outfit that will make you look awesome. And now with Little B in my life, I am realizing even more that I want to teach her that she is perfect just the way she is, feisty-ness and all.
Now with all that said, I do recognize that this glorious trait should only be brought out on special occasions. That if I unleash it every day, then it will lose its punch and risk pissing people off unnecessarily. But holy smack, when the sassy does come out... it comes out loud and proud and with no restraint. I kind of love it.
