Take me as I am

I seem to be miss-understood and my words tend to be twisted and taken out of context, so let me try to make myself clear.

¤ I am a hippie at heart, and I have some punk rock values.

♦I am anti- war, in the respect that I do not believe that the government has our best interests in mind. We send people to war to line the pockets of the rich yet the poor stay poor.

** My opinion of the government is in no way connected with my opinion of the soldiers in the military**

»»I have a few friends currently serving in the military who are stations across the country. I miss them terribly. Some of them I think I miss a little more then I should. I care about them. I worry about them constantly, but I cannot and would not question the decisions they have made for their life; I would have no place to do so! I am not their girlfriend, or wife. Their decision does not affect my life outside the fact that they traveled away from me. All I can do is be here if they want me, be here if they need me, and offer them my love and support.

♦I am anti-sexism, there is no opportunity that should not be offered to me simply because I am not a man. I don't need to be protected; I can take care of myself just fine. Don’t act like you're scared you will break me, I've already been broken and put back together.

♦I am an environmentalist, there are so many small steps we can take to preserve our resources and save our environment yet our society is so fucking ignorant they don't understand the fact that if we destroy the planet we destroy ourselves.

♦I believe in animal rights, I like my dogs more than I like most people. I can't fucking stand anyone that abuses animals.

♦I do not believe in marriage, you shouldn't need me to be legally bound to you. If I want to be with you, then I will. If I don't want to be with you then I will leave.

»»If I am with you, that doesn't mean I belong to you. I am not property. I am fully capable of thinking for myself and making my own decisions.««

♦I believe that rapists and child molesters are the most despicable creatures on earth and do not deserve the air they breathe. What kind of a man are you to have to force yourself upon a woman? Upon a child? The emotional wounds left by these creatures never heal.
