Talking to myself...


Yesterday I turned 32.  I'm a Sagittarius and this is how the latest Glamour magazine describes our kind:

Why You're Wonderful
Your positive, adventurous outlook is a breath of fresh air.  The superhero of the zodiac, you fight tirelessly for truth, justice and underdogs of every stripe.

Why You're Impossible
It's Sag's way or no way.  You've got zero patience for others limitations, and if someone lets you down, whoa, look out!

It's incredible, really.  How could the alignment of the stars determine the core of my soul? How does it work?  I don't have an answer for any of these questions, but I can assure you that I have never been so accurately described before.

I like to think of myself as a lovable and caring friend.  As a wonderful lover and true partner in life's way.  A daughter, a sister, a wife... a human being in search of greater things to achieve, to learn and to give.

But the Impossible part of the description is what really gets me the most. "You've got zero tolerance for others limitations..." Ufff... that's a tough one, isn't it.  The hard part for me is that it's true.  I have the tendency to be judgmental and bossy and I always have the need to speak my mind.  And not everybody is happy about this.  At least not the people that I love and that are closer to me.

So, in an effort to depurate my mind and make sense of all my reasoning on the things I cannot control, I have started this anonymous blog.  At least I'll have a place where I'll be able to say what I want, in whatever way I want to say it without the need to apologize for inconvenient words or phrases I may have spoken. And in the process, I will hopefully learn a thing or two about my limitations... and a little more about my virtues.
