ADDMWS - who are you - really?

This is a question that I ask myself on the regular.

I don't know the answer. I wear many different hats, based on who I am dealing with or what day of the week it is or my situation. ADDhubby teases me about acting white, yet he complains about my ghetto-ness...(he got in MY car the other day and I had been bumping TOO SHORT - freaky tales).

In my mind, I look very different than my mirror would have me believe; I'm outgoing, a social butterfly; I am the life of the party - everybody wants to be my friend. The truth of the matter is that I'm not 21 any more - I have womanly curves; I don't like to be bothered by people I know - well occasionally; I don't have the desire to party or hang out.

If I could change some physical things about myself, they would be:

My skin complexion - I'm too fucking light (no I'm not mixed or albino). When white people say Oh, youre black??? its too light
My foot size - where the hell did I get these big ass Fred Flinstone feet - I wear an 11
My hairiness - Is it normal for a woman to have excessive hair EVERYWHERE? not like bigfoot or chubaka, but too much hair nonetheless
My boobies - I have never been a fan of them - they always get in the way...no they are not Dolly Parton big, I'm just not a fan and now that gravity is taking place - we stay on bad terms.
#1 thing are my shoulders - why the hell do I have to look like a football player in pads...I come from a long line of big, broad, back sistas and some of them love it...but me NEVA!

In the grand scheme of things, while these things seem huge in my mind, they are really small in comparison to other stuff. I'm not disfigured, handicapped, or ill, so please believe that I love what God created in me, truthfully even if I were any of those things...I would still love what God created in me.

If you could, what physical attributes do you have that you are not completely fond of?


Who are you today?

What physical attributes do I have that I'm not completely fond of???

[Hmmm....]

I'd say my stomach [it's just not what it used to be *after three chiiren ya know**] LOL

My calves/ankles [they are just not well proportioned to my curvey hips and juicy thighs]

and last but not least, my raccoon eyes (which I inherited from my mama)...

A sistah is NOT so crazy about those [slightly darker than the rest of my complexion] rings I have around em'.

I am 3rd for the stomach issues, that is my biggest feat, now I realize I can never be a video hoe..LOL, no but Im serious
My bottom row of teeth are not the bizness, luckily when I smile you can’t see them jones, but when I talk you can catch a glimpse. I had braces and them mofos was straighter than Michael Jackson crickets, but I refused to wear my retainers and them suckas jump’d back in to a crowd on my ass…no such luck and thousand of dollars later..LOL
Lastly, my fat ass. My butt has been my attention getter by far…when I walk I can just hear the comments “damn she got ass” . I hardly ever revealed my rump until I was about 19 or 20 when I knew I could make it work to my advantage, you know tootin, clappin, jiggling…. tootin..LOL

Poc, you got junk in the trunk?? I wish I did...I use to want a huge booty, but now these girls trying to make a living off of it, has made me change my mind.

I (secretly) see the video girls and sometimes wish I could put my head on their bodies!

but we are so much more than our physical features...I say that I am fluffy...my kids love hugging me and say that I am soft, so thats what is important to me now...funny how our perspectives change the older we get.
