Define yourself?

Do it.
Try.
I dare you.  :)

Come up with one singular word that sums you up.

I tried for years before succeeding.  Maybe that makes you feel better, and maybe you got yours in about two seconds and I seem a little slow.

My word is determined.
Determined:
1. Resolute, staunch.
2. Decided, settled, resolved.
3. Someone with their mind made up about something.

Determination is what pushes me to keep going after I fail.  But like the nursery rhyme says, when the wind blows, the cradle will rock.

I guess I never thought the bough would break.
Because the cradle is falling.

And just because I look like I've got it together doesn't mean I actually do.  But no one wants a broken toy.  Or in my case, a broken personal organizer/responsible adult/magical fixer of literally everything that goes wrong for everyone but me.

I am determined.

I am determined to move past this.

I am determined to be a woman my children can look up to someday.

I am determined.
