this is because i dont know who i am

this is because. tara rae already blogged a this is because http://0mycondolences.blogspot.com/2015/01/this-is-because-i-know-who-i-am.html post and i am not a copy-cat. a thief? maybe, but never a copier. i dont even know what I'm trying to say here but taras post was all this is because i know who i am and, as i said before, im not a copier. so this is because i dont know who i am. but. i do know who im not. im not the perfect child who doesnt screw up every now and then (but then again, who is?) im not a perfect student either. i quit school last week. while i am a courtesy clerk at Smith's, i dont let that define me. speaking of things i dont let define me, i essentially gave myself a traumatic brain injury a few years back, but ill be damned if that controls what i do and say. im not a goody-two-shoes. sure, im a strong member of the church, my middle name is Faith, but i curse like a sailor and im not even sorry. i dont let anyone tell me that what/who i am doesnt fit up with their idea of who/what they think i should be. i wasnt pre-designated to be a singer. i cant sing worth shit. nor was i pre-designated to be a musician. while i did take years of piano, i never really wanted to practice. plus, it was before my accident and relearning to play the piano was not on my list of "things i need to do". i had more important things to worry about; like relearning how to breathe on my own, relearning to talk, relearning how to walk (this was über important), relearning how to go to the bathroom, relearning how to eat. i invite you few who think you can put up with me, to come find out. im a good time, i promise.
