| Bio: | If I Was a Superwoman Would it be good enough? If everything I did was the right thing, and all my ideas had merit, would it be enough for respect? If I could make myself beautiful, become a paragon of fitness and know all the latest, coolest things without even trying could I be worthy of attention? If I was perfectly kind and knew all the right words, if I didn't doubt myself and think I'm weird, would I be someone to look up to? If I worried less and asked fewer questions and made myself invincible, would I be worthy of praise? Perhaps. But perhaps also I don't want to be a Superwoman. It's possible, just possible, that I like being me. It's conceivable, just a little, that I like myself the way I am. That I don't think I should have to change to make other people happy, although I reserve the right to listen to and accommodate the opinions of the people I care about, the people I respect. There's the thing, too. Those people, the ones I care about and respect, seem to like me, too, even though sometimes I'm a dolt and don't get why. So maybe, just maybe, if they like me, and I like me, I don't have to be Superwoman to be worthy of, or even have, the things I want. I'm clumsy and klutzy, and I speak out of turn. I'm motherly when people don't need a mother and I ask way too many questions. I'm hopelessly uncool, and not in the ever popular anti-cool cool way - I just don't care. The last organized sport I participated in was intramural girls basketball in the eighth grade, and that was only a feminist protest that there wasn't a girls basketball team - I hate basketball. I'm stubborn as hell. I get mad sometimes and my feelings hurt sometimes and I think about everything way too much. So what? So what. None of that makes me any less than miss fabricated Superwoman. The people who have earned my respect, and I admit that is a very hard thing to do, still like me. More importantly, I still like myself. I don't need to be anyone's ideal to be worthy of all the things I mentioned above. Not even my own. | |
