definition...

I hate being defined. I hate being put in a box. However, the facts are that I have one. Everyone has one Miriam Webster was kind enough to give me mine. Or, at least to flesh it out.

I'm done. This is my box. For now. At least, the box I could think of. I'm sure you all could add. You should. Tell me more, I'll define myself further into my box. I do not think it is a bad thing, I think it healthy to realize who you are and who you want to be. To accept where appropriate and make changes where they should be made. This was fun. Cathartic. Highly recommended.
