What do you mean I am not one of the guys?

I keep forgetting I have this little impairment that kind of, oh you know, pumps brain altering hormones into my body. Silly uterus.
For some reason I think that I need to keep up, that I need to be tough, that I can not back down. I need to change that... quickly. I am very close to completely breaking myself in a few different ways and I am too good to let that happen.
I am a beautiful, strong, independent woman.
But I am also soft, and sweet, and vulnerable.
I have spent far too much time having guys tell me these are bad qualities. I am done.
I am a girl and dammit, I am going to act like it.
Not going shot for shot with the boys, not pretending someone being an ass doesn't bother me and letting them keep it up, not letting men treat me like crap.

Trust me, you will appreciate it when it stops coming to a head and having me freak out.

Happy New Years Lovies.
