I hate when people tell me what to do, but I love when people tell me that I am not able to do something. I don't mean in not being allowed to do something, but in being incapable. I hate pressure but I love proving myself. I don't necessarily desire someone constantly telling me I'm incapable of everything. But, when it's for the right thing, the negativity becomes my fuel. Over the years, I have encountered many people that did not believe in me. But, I have either knocked them cold with my current accomplishments or I have them in the waiting to be surprised. I don't develop an "in-your-face" sort of ego. But I do say, "Well, here I am, exactly where you said I would never be."

I'm a feminist, but I am also feminine. I'm independent and romantic. I'm an introvert and an extrovert when I'm not. It may sound like a dichotomy, but I don't feel ambivalent at all. I feel like me. I like to see two sides to extremes and find the balance of the two. I believe in empowering women but in also being a woman. I believe in having the ability to stand on your own but also in being able to fall in love. I believe in solitude but also socializing. I find my sense of peace when I stand in the middle of nature.

There are times when you cannot compromise. This is my truth when it comes to faith and character. I have no difficult in loving others with different religious or spiritual beliefs. But, I do struggle a bit with lesser character. I would never disrespect someone or start drama for fun or immature things like that. I have a hard time getting along with those people or saying something to them. I confess to being judgmental in situations where innocent people are hurt. It's something I have to work on, but I know I can do it.
