One and Only Parents

I have to admit, sometimes I watch, that train wreck of a television show, Teen Mom. It is hard not to be judgmental of these girls. I try not to but I can't help it, c'mon I'm not perfect. My issue though is with the look at adoption.

One of the young girls gave her child up for adoption. I completely applaud her for that. But I am not for open adoptions. Although that is just my personal opinion. I have done no study on the subject so I am not an expert, what I am is a child of adoption.

I was adopted in November 1970, by my parents. They are the only parents I know and will ever know. There may be a man and woman out there that I share DNA with but it could never be compared to the things I share with my parents. And there will only be 1 person I call Moma and 1 person I call Dad.

So the question is what makes a parent? Everybody has an answer, so what is the right one. That is another blog because this is always an ongoing subject in my life.

True Friends

In this day and age it is so hard to make true friends. Those who understand you and really want to get to know you. I am just as guilty as anyone. I hate to be that way but I so enjoy my life alone.

I have always tried to explain to people the difference between being alone and being lonely. Most people thing they are the same thing. They are not. I love being alone but I am never lonely.

Maybe it is the fact that I feel my connection to people is not as strong as some others would be. I am fiercely independent, in all aspects of my life. Oh, that can be a huge fault in a lot of peoples' eyes but for me I feel it is not a weakness but a strength. It has made me take steps to ensure that I have control of my life.

The Heart of the Matter

My family is the most important thing, even if we, like most families today, are dysfunctional. But that could be for another blog, this one is about how grateful I am for my family. I am who I am because of my family. I have my flaws, I have weaknesses but I am also strong and compassionate. I am the best and worst of everything that is my family.

All of this pours over into my everyday life. I am loyal...to a fault..if you are my friend or my employer, maybe even a somewhat acquaintance, I will be steadfast in my loyalty until I feel I have been wronged,than WATCH OUT

It's another one of those traits of my birth sign. We, Scorpios, have a tendency to not be able to let things go, which means I can hold a grudge. It also doesn't help that we tend to be introverts, which means that I like to be alone. I feel more alive when I am alone, which means I do not feel that I need many friends.

I have recently had an experience that only further proves the traits of my birth sign suit me to a 'T'.

But no matter to any of this when it comes to my family and those I consider my family, I will be there for them forever.
