About
I have trouble writing these things. Like most human beings I’m complex. To know me is to love me but that’s the thing, first you have to get to know me. I can rattle off a bunch of titles that describe me but then all you know about me is whatever preconceived notions you hold about that word. For instance when I say I’m an army brat born and raised most people assume I’m a pro-war ultra conservative when almost the exact opposite is true. But then if I’m anti-war and liberal that must mean I’m a soldier hating gay baby killer. Again not true. I was once told not to argue a point that has not yet been made. So when I say I’m a birth mom I’m not supposed to immediately add that I’m not promiscuous or on drugs etc. It been said that to do so actually reinforces the stereotype one would be trying to disprove. Basically why is she so defensive if there isn’t some truth to that stereotype? But the problem with that is most people are going to have some sort of idea in their head prior to meeting me if I don’t challenge that at the out start; if I just pretend that judgment isn’t there I may not get another chance. So where does that leave this little about me section? Well here it is the list of what I amArmy brat, social worker, birth mom, middle child, mixed race (black/white), anti-war, pro-troops, and so much more Take it at face value and go with your own assumptions or dig a little deeper and get to know me. Like I said to know me is to love me.
