New Englander

Today I realized some simple things that are never going to leave me.

1. No matter what happens, the best sports teams will always be the Red Sox, the Patriots, and the Celtics... and I hate basketball.

2. Being tough will always be an admirable quality, even to a fault.

3. If you begin to talk badly about my family, I am going to stick up for them. I don't care what you say about me, but don't start about them.

4. Snow is always a part of life. And I'm going to brag about how much more snow I can handle than you.

5. Pride is always going to play a certain part in things. Not bad pride but more like honor. I can admit to faults but inner character and family loyalty will always be important.

6. Swearing to get a point across (when used sparingly and appropriatly) is completly ok.

7. I don't do part time friends. If you are really my friend, this is going to be long term. I don't do casual relationships.

8. I feel what I feel and sometimes I get angry, but I don't do passive aggressive. I'll either get over it or get in your face.

These are just a few of the things I can think of. You see, New England left a huge mark on me. It's a mark you would never notice until you moved somewhere else. And some people might say that these are stubborn bad qualities but I don't think so. I am still just a simple girl who loves God. I want to serve with all my capactiy. But I am also a girl with character and some things make me who I am today. And people who are worth my time and energy are going to look past my pros and my cons and see a friend, and I'll do the same thing. Because it's where we're from, where we've been, what we've done, and what we've been through that make us who we are, and I wouldn't give anything to be generic. Cause God didnt' make me that way.
