Because I Am Human...

Because I am human...
I eat when I'm hungry...and sometimes when I'm not
I drink when I'm thirsty...green tea as often as I can
I laugh when something is funny...and cry when I've been hurt
I love trying new things...but I'm more comfortable with familiar surroundings
I have a rather tough exterior...but my feelings are extremely tender
I often give people chance after chance...but I will shut down when I've had enough!
I'm as truthful as humanly possible...but I'm not without blame sometimes
I'm faithful...and I feel broken when that is not reciprocated
I love hard...and I pride myself on that 
I love to read and write...but I often fail to do my homework, especially on people
I can cook and bake...but I usually waste a lot of food
I'm extremely peaceful...but I'm not a push over
I'm the mother of Lauryn...and I'm thankful, blessed and honored
I know that change is inevitable and much needed at times...but transition is tough at times

And because I am human...
I always pick and choose my battles! My feelings get hurt when my character is attacked. Since becoming a mommy, my skin has gotten thicker, but I'm still human underneath it all. I'm always taken back when people try to take my words and actions and make it about them. I'm usually quiet and reserved, but when pushed to the limit, I will unload. 

And because I am human...
I am Lauryn's mommy...HEAR ME ROAR!
