Be Yourself. Sometimes it is hard but always be true to yourself

I am the only one in my family that isn't married ( or have somone in my life). I am also the only one in my family that doesn't have any children. Because I am different from the other people in my family, I am left out of things and I  am not acknowledge as a family member. One a guy gave me sister some planes that used to belong to my dad when he was alive. My sister asked my brothers if they wanted one but didn't ask me. I moved into my apartment September of 2000, none of my siblings ever came to my apartment to check it out.

My sister is always bad mouthing me to people. She is always saying " Well I have a husband and children and she doesn't" She thinks she is better than me.  My sister never took care of herself. When she was single and living on her own she lived on Welfare and lived in government housing. Now that she is married , her husband takes care of her. He works 10 hours shifts 6 days a week while she sits on the computer playing farmville on facebook.

The reason I do not have kids is because I do not want kids. I am not going to have a bunch of kids I do not want to please my family.( to fit in)  The reason I do not have a husband, I have not found anyone yet and I do not want a man to take care of me. I want to know that I can take care of myself. I am not going to hurry up and find someone to please my family.

I enjoy my freedom. I like the fact that I can do what ever I want, nobody is telling me what I can and can not do. I also volunteer with The American Heart Association and The American Diabetes Association, something nobody in my family has never done. I have been promoted twice with The American Heart Association. I have an associates degree in Business. I like the fact that on my days off , I can sleep in. If I want to stay in bed all day I can. If I want to go out I stay out as long as I want. No curfew for me. I have done through bad times and I survived.

Always be yourself. Do not let another person tell you what you are suppose to be and how to live your life.
