tr.v. lib·er·at·ed, lib·er·at·ing, lib·er·ates
1. To set free, as from oppression, confinement, or foreign control.
Lately I've been discovering new things about myself. Maybe not new, but newly made so to myself, and to the world around me. For example:
I do not like:
Sugar cookies
Pumpkin pie, and most pie for that matter besides lemon meringue and berry
Rude drivers
Rude people
Confrontation (not to be mistaken for problem-solving communication, which is healthy and necessary)
This is not an exhaustive list, merely things I've lately felt quite happy to realize and voice. Also, my favorite color is red, and then yellow and orange. Unless it's in nature, then green is definitely up there, along with blue skies. Heck, I just love color. Lots of it.
I love witty people and a dry sense of humor. I have absolutely crazy dreams on a regular basis- I promise I'm not exaggerating. It's like my imagination goes full on random mode while I sleep. I'm really super good at shooting the water in the clown's mouth game at the fair. I'm a little obsessed with Sudoku. I'm better driving at night.
I am very fond of people who use terms of endearment on a regular basis, naturally (ex: "Could you hand me that book sweetheart?" "Thanks darlin'").
And you know what? I've never been a cheesy person or one for cliches, but I think that dating Matt has made me a better person. Maybe he just helped restore my confidence in the person I really am; I like discovering things about myself I thought I'd lost or just had never known. Like that I'm really in love with my home-state, and I am actually a quiet person (somewhat of a homebody!) inside. Probably my favorite though, is that I'm softer than I'd thought for awhile. I feel like my defenses have fallen, and it's easier for me to trust my hea
rt and let go.
It takes awhile to fully appreciate yourself .. I'm guessing your whole life probably. But it cheers me to know that I'm that much closer :)

Hi, you're beautiful.
But you don't like pumpkin pie? That breaks my heart.
And I, my dear Lauren, also have crazy dreams every single night. :)
I should challenge you sometime to the clown water shooting game! But in order to do that, we need to be in the same place...hmmm.
Seattle in March is sounding better and better!
