Inspired by Christina Aguilera's Song "I Am".

Today, I am feeling kinda melancholy.  I have a love-hate relationship with these days, as they force me to take a good look at my life and it's surroundings, the people in it, things like that.  I have lost friends because of my melancholy days.  I have also gained a lot of insight as to who I truly am because of them. 

So there I was this morning, waiting for my bus downtown (damn that bus, it's chronically late!).  I have inspiration, and no paper.  Cell phone is dead.  I have a pen!  I was about to write on my friggen arm.  Then I found a business card and started writing on the back of it.  I wanted it to be kind of poetry-esq.  However, I couldn't turn it into a poem.  So decided to make it a checklist type of thing.  Sort of an inventory of myself.  I suppose it's not all there.  I suppose there are many other words to describe myself.  It's difficult to start it all with "I am", but it was my inspiration, therefore I felt obliged.

I am… stubborn

I am… determined

I am… oversensitive

I am… tired

I am… defensive

I am… temperamental

I am… emotional

I am… unpredictable

I am… a mother

I am… confident

I am… strong-willed

I am… hardworking

I am… shrewd

I am… imperfect

I am… responsible

I am… persevering

I am… cautious

I am… honest

I am… respectful

I am… ambitious

I am… reserved

I am… conservative

I am… insecure
