- I just do not understand why people think I am so "together" all of the time.
- I wish they knew that on occasion, my stuff can be downright raggedy.
- I guess they would know that if I told them.
- Maybe I should.
- I feel that I should not have to.
- If they are my friends, they should know that about me right?
- Apparently not.
- Are they able to detect that I need a moment?
- Not exactly.
- Would they listen if I told them?
- Actively?
- Of course they would. They are my friends.
- Right?
- Sometimes instead of being the sounding board, I would like to make a little noise.
- AAAAHHHH!
- Sorry.
- That really didn't do it for me.
- I guess I need more than that.
- Anyone for drinks?
- Just kidding...sort of.
- Do people really see "me"?
- I mean beyond the exterior.
- Do I really want them to?
- Seriously. Do I?
- I'm tired.
- I need a break.
- I need to be "noelle" for a while.
- I'm sure you are like "huh?"
- Seriously. "noelle" and "NOELLE" are distinctly different personalities.
- There are others.
- Do I have DID (disociative identity disorder)?
- I feel that way on some days.
- Is today one of those days?
- Of course.
- Would I be writing this blog if it weren't?
- At this exact moment about this exact subject?
- Probably not.
- Okay, absolutely not.
- Is it just me, or does blogging seem easier when you are having a moment?
- Seriously.
- I think it is.
- Maybe I'll try to write my next one when I'm not having a moment.
- Should I really attempt that?
- I mean, come on.
- Do I really want to travel down that road?
- We'll see.
- I said I would never blog
- With that being said...I guess just about anything is possible.
Okay. I just had to come back to this. Before posting, I went back and read it. Since I promised myself that I would not erase any blogs, I just have to pull back and really think about the comments I just made.
While I am somewhat proud of the fact that I am able to portray myself as a "lady to be reckoned with," I also want to be able to get stuff off my chest. I want to be able to say exactly how I am feeling without people thinking that I'm going all Whitney Houston and cracking up and whatnot. Did you just laugh at that? Smile even? I thought that was funny. Sorry, tangent. Anyway, I just wanted to clear that up. It is not that I don't care about my peeps' problems, concerns, or issues. I just want to be able to breakdown too without people writing me off as losing my "NOELLE" presence. Afterthought, that sounds really arrogant ("NOELLE"), but I didn't identify the distinction between the two. Thanks K for pointing that out.

I see the similarities you speak of, dear random one. I understand you...that should count for something. I'm "together" too, ya know? ;) lata..
I think Seuss said it best (you know I have quotes for everything, right?):
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
When you're feeling raggedy, say so. When you need a moment, take two.
... and then tell me what this "noelle"/"NOELLE" business is about. :)
