Sitting here at the computer instead of somewhere between an REM cycle, I am engrossed in thought. Aside from working and schooling, this is what I do the most. I think too much, laugh too much, talk too much. John says, "Extra is always better" but I am still not quite sure if I agree or not. Sometimes just enough is enough and even not enough is acceptable but too much usually does more harm than good. Have you ever had someone to call you too much? Love you too much? Need you too much? Exactly my point. Heck, Jesus loved the world so much that He died. Now if that does not lend credence to my point, then I don't know what will. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Too much soda, too much pizza, or too much candy. Stick with just enough or a little less than enough. Show too much skin and you are labeled a whore, show just enough and you are labeled, "sexy." And sexy beats slorish woman anyday. What is a slore, you ask? A slore is a cross between a slut and a whore and who wants to be one of those? You know, when I started typing I had no idea where this would go but it seems to be a good place to park for a minute. Now I know sometimes my mind is faster than my hands so if I lost you we are talking about too much of a good thing. Life is all about balance. You have to find the happy medium. The median between abject starvation and seven-sin gluttony. You know, there's a fine line between large-sized and Whattasized. This medium is all about knowing yourself and I guess that is the hardest part. It is so easy to know other people and read other people, "like a book" but knowing thyself can prove to be pretty challenging. We spend so much time with ourselves that it is easy to overlook who we are. It is akin to gaining or losing weight. Until someone else comments on how svelte or samoan we look, we don't even realize we are teetering dangerously close to anorexic/overeaters anonymous. So with this and that said, I am going to bed to think about how to tread the line. Holding fast somewhere between giving too much or keeping something for myself.

Wow I truly loved and enjoyed this blog!! I am really looking forward to seeing and reading more. We as women and as human beings can't allow the opinions and negativity of others to influence and affect who we are. You must learn to love yourself and then be in love with yourself. To be in love with yourself is a place of peace and fulfillment and once you are there no one can take you from it. The way you get there is through GOD! I am speaking from total experience. You are right there are so many labels and categories people have set for other individuals. However you must take responsibility in upholding yourself like a woman and or man should. Treat your body like a beautiful temple. Your body belongs to GOD and no one else. A lot of women are agreeing to a lot of the stereotypes that men have set forth. By dancing to those degrading rap songs and etc. Then we call one another those same type of stereotypical names. I think this was a wonderful blog and judging by the title you are speaking out not mostly for yourself but for women as well! I am a strong female activist so I already have followed your blog! lol Superb job and don't stop here! Please keep them coming!
