me.

I was talking to my Sista a few days ago about someone liking me or not.  I jokingly said that it is kinda pathetic that I am not even myself around this person, and yet they still don't like me.  Can you imagine if I was actually myself...they would really hate me!

One of the first things I fell in love with about Paul is the way he is totally himself, no matter what. He doesn't try to impress people, and he speaks his mind.

He is the one that made me realize that my opinion matters!

After all of this I decided I am going to be my true self...100% of the time.  Take it or leave it, I don't do fake...it is too hard. 

I am the best me out there, no one does Evonne better than me...

This doesn't mean I can't improve.  This doesn't mean I am a perfect Evonne...it just means that I am going to start being more honest with myself and others.

Most days I swear...a. lot.
I drink Coke by the gallons.
I dread Sundays...longest day ever, and I don't love church. 
My house looks like a bomb went off 85% of the time.
I love hard core rap, and I wanna go to Summer Jam.
I sing like a rock star in the car.
I fall asleep when Paul and I watch movies at home.
I hate trendy.
I wear orange, even when it's not October.
I am a highschool drop out.
I don't wear any makeup when I have a tan.
I love snail mail.
I have good intentions, and poor follow through.
I love food, and it shows.
I am married to a helluva guy, and we make cute babies.

I am Evonne.

I love this post. I decided awhile ago that I wasn't going to pretend to be anything I wasn't, and I lost a few people along the way, but it was the best decision I ever made. Good for you! :D

Also, I love the duck face MySpace pic. :)

Jerilee E. said...

Unknown said...

AMEN!

Reminded me of Dr. Suess quote:

"Today you are YOU, that is truer than TRUE, there is no one alive that is YOUER than YOU!"

Evonne!!! I swear we were separated at birth. I think you're pretty awesome... just the way you are. And, I would love to rock out to Eminem and Black Eyed Peas with you... anytime. {Although, I drink Diet Coke... but we can enjoy our Cokes together!} xoxox. Love this post. You rock girl!

Vanessa said...

ps i might copy this post and do my own would it bug u if i did?

Unknown said...

Love your list! And so many of the things you listed I can completely relate too! Especially Sundays...longest day ever, I always dread them and it seems like everyone is always moody on Sundays as well. I agree I don't love church, just love the blessings and the feelings there!

Why endure life pretending and being fake..nothing annoys me more than when people are and its soooo obvious, or when they think they have to take on someone elses attitude or personality! I say enjoy life..have fun and be yourself!

Emily said...

I'm with Vanessa--perhaps we need to start an "this is me" linky party! You know I love you just the way you are, right?

Unknown said...

Emily..I love the idea of a linky party...maybe I will come up with something tomorrow.

Evonne I LOVE YOU! I honestly think if we ever had time or were on the same schedule to have time, you could quite honestly be one of my best friends, two peas in a pod.
