Get Real...

“Real”... “100% real juice”.. “The real deal”.. “It’s the realthing!”.. There are very few things in life that are as real as they say.  I’ll admit that some days just to help theday pass more smoothly, I am not as real as I’d like to be, but right now, I’m gonna get real with you…
When I get upset I cry. When I get mad I cry.  And sometimes I laugh so hard that I cry.
I sing in the car almost every time I am alone.
I bite my nails when I’m nervous, or sometimes just because I am bored.
I put me or someone I know into every song I hear on the radio.
When I am really upset I can’t eat, but when I am really stressed I over eat.
I’m more likely to stress over the people in my life than money, but once I start stressing everything stresses me out.
When I love someone I give everything I can, until I realize they don’t feel the same…and I find myself withdrawing.   
I have a major complex about nose that began years ago from kids teasing me.
When I feel threatened I get defensive and don’t always play fair.
Been known to have a beer or a pint of ice cream after a bad day.
I don’t usually forgive quickly, even though I know I should. 
I will be your greatest ally if you keep me on your side and never mess with my family.
I have been cheated on so many times that my expecting it is now a blessing and a curse… I know what to watch for but I am also overly suspicious and it can hurt someone I care about.
I could probably go all day, because I feeling pretty open right now, but I’m sure you don’t really want to read about my flaws and oddities for pages…so I am going to stop…But what I want you to do is get real with yourself and those you care about. Embrace your Ben & Jerry’s moments and your squeaky Mariah moments in the car.  Love him as if he is goingto look at you like that forever… You never know when will be your last carride home so tell him you love him, even if you’re saying it alone.
Have A GOODloe Day!
