Paradox

For as long as I can remember I have been billed as the no-nonsense, hard-core, self sufficient bitch on the outside.

          I don't need anyone.  I don't need anything.  I've got it.  I just tell the truth, sometimes that's not awesome.    
               Men?  I like them, but I don't need them.

For as long as I can remember, it has been true.  Until a year ago.
         
          Do you think I am pretty?   Do you love me?  Do you want to be with me?

I suppose even under the hard exterior there was always a core with a heart.  Most people never saw it.

I moved to Florida alone.  Co-dependency has never been my friend.  I have always been a loner.  I allowed boys and a state to break me.

I have this tattoo.  It's Peace, Love and Rock and Roll.  My mantra for life.  I forgot.  I totally forgot.  I forgot to love.  I forgot Peace.  I forgot Rock and Roll.  I actually, for a moment, did not like my tattoo.  Well f*ck that.  I remembered who I was and why I have that there.

I LOVE.  I always have.  Everything is better when you love.  LOVE.

Proof that I once loved:
