At what age do we become so accustomed to making compromises we forget who we are. We forget what we are. We forget that we don't have to make compromises? One thing that should come with age is the ability to say no to ourselves and to others. Being raised southern can be a great disadvantage in this area of our life. I think I am tired of compromise. I would rather grow old alone that compromise. I don't want to 'blend' any more. I want to be the unique person I am. Alone....I can do it well if need be. But I am done compromising. Be who you are, stand for what you believe in, speak what is in your heart and let the chips fall where they may. Just remember you will no longer be in the chips that fall, you will be the reason they fell.
