In no particular order:
Neighbor: YOUR TRASH IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
+++++++++++++
When I finally break my silence – AT YOUR REQUEST – and speak to you about “what is going on,” I expect you to NOT be texting other people and then ask me to repeat myself because you are “too distracted.”
+++++++++++++
When you ask me a question, expect an answer.
+++++++++++++
No work = failing grade
Failing work = failing grade
Plagiarized work = failing grade
Work from another class = failing grade in my class
+++++++++++++
What you paid for is the privilege of being in my class. Nothing more. Nothing less.
+++++++++++++
My vagina does not have a revolving door. This does NOT make me “stuck up,” “crazy,” or “unenlightened.” I prefer to wait for the right person than test results.
I have standards.
I have standards.
+++++++++++++
If you choose to violate my boundaries – after I have defined them for you several times – you also choose the consequences.
+++++++++++++
You (and you and you and you and you) do NOT know what is in my “best interest.” In fact, listening your (and your and your and your and your) advice has caused additional destruction.
+++++++++++++
How I cope with my circumstances is MY CHOICE.
+++++++++++++
Cousin: When you said, “Do not contact me for any reason under any circumstances,” I listened.
Aunt: That is why there is no interaction.
Different Cousin: When you told me, “We do not consider you part of the family,” I listened.
All Other Relatives: I do not participate in something of which I am not a part.
+++++++++++++
As a result of my inability to cope with anything that has occurred since 08/12/09 (except the realization of Love. That is the one saving grace. Without it, I would have killed myself. I’m not kidding.), I am quite ill.
So when I say I cannot drop everything to genuflect for you, I mean it.
By the way: When’s the last time you genuflected for me?
+++++++++++++
MY PROPERTY IS MY PROPERTY. WHAT I CHOOSE TO DO WITH IT IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN.
+++++++++++++
I am a passionate person. No amount of therapy or medication is ever going to change that; that is how I am hardwired. I cry when I am happy; I cry when I am sad. I cry in the face of great beauty and I will cry when I slap you.
Your choice to react to my passion (which has nothing to do with you) is NOT my problem.
+++++++++++++
Be very, very sure of your facts before you accuse me of impropriety.
+++++++++++++
I love without hesitation.
I love without reservation.
I pay the price.
I accept this.
+++++++++++++
Get. Out. Of. My. Way.
amen!
ReplyDeleteOkay, this actually made me smile even though I don't think that was the goal. Only because, well, I can relate and also because I know enough...
