I've become besieged by people that have a certain ideal of what or who I should be, or how I should act or react. It escapes me that people aren't willing to let someone be who they are. No one is perfect, but time and time again, I meet people that want perfection. Each person is shaped by their own individual experiences, good or bad. Experiences can build character or even destroy trust. The variables are immeasurable. I am not perfect, nor do I deceive myself into thinking that I am. I know my faults, failings, and insecurities, but I also know my strengths. Every coin has two sides; every person an outer and an inner face.
I suppose I'm writing this to the universe, as I have no one single person in mind. I am tired of a number of things. A person thinking that because I am nice to them, that they can walk all over me; A man thinking all a women is for is sex; Someone taking me for granted; Someone assuming that my patience is acceptance; Someone with no patience(which can sometimes be me); Someone that disrespects me; The cat thinking I live to serve her; People that think I have to be in a good mood ALL of the time. The list goes on and on.
I'm tired. I just want to be who I am, because dammit, I just can't be anyone else. I get frustrated sometimes. I laugh sometimes. I hurt sometimes. I'm human.

I dislike talking on the phone. I'm not a phone person.
-------
I dislike people that ask me questions that they don't want the answer to. Hey, if you don't want to hear the truth, then don't ask me.
-------
I dislike people that always have a story better than yours. You know the ones I'm talking about. "You know, I had that same thing happen to me, but in my case..." Shut-up. No one wants to hear it.
-------
I've mentioned this before, but I really dislike guys just looking to score. I'm looking for a lifelong friend/companion/lover and I'm not interested in casual sex. I don't know how many ways I have to say it, but this is my body, and I'm not "putting out" for just anybody. If you're here to notch the bedpost, then move along... nothing to see here.
-------
I dislike people that talk during the movies. I pay $8 to see the movie, not listen to other people yap. And if that cell phone goes off one more time, they may just find it shoved up there #@%!
-------
I dislike a certain large, frequently advertised and visited by 90% of the world's population superstore that rhymes with Ball-mart. It's crowded; you have to park in the north forty, and you can't find anything unique because everyone else has it too.
-------
I dislike rude and careless drivers. No turn signals; weaving in and out of traffic; endangering life and limb. Learn to drive respectfully or get off the road. If you're not doing the speed limit, move over so others can pass.
