This blog is going to be about me discovering and becoming the real me. For my first 40 years I was only me in my mind, while trying to be who others, particularly my mother wanted me to be. I am single, never had a boyfriend. And in a way, I am glad, because I want to be with someone who likes the real me. I don’t want to have to pretend to be someone I’m not “til death do us part”. This is going to require a lot of bravery on my part to stand up for myself. Wish me luck!
