The first thing most people say is that I, “don’t play around.”

“You’re so real!”

“You’re such a bad ass.”

I am protecting my peace. I am making sure everyone understands I will not hesitate to eject them from my life. I do not present unscrupulous behavior to anyone’s door, so I expect the same in return.

I do have a heart and I am loving. But it’s yes, and no. I don’t condone “in between” behavior. Like little white lies, attention issues, or malice because it seems fun. I try to work on an even keel. So it’s not me being a total bad ass, it’s me being a genuine and decent individual.
