Daddy's Girl

If you look at me, I am my mother. We have the same eyes, nose, hair, facial structure and body type. Look a little closer and get to know me, however, and I am my dad to the very core. Here are some examples:

• We both love to cook
• We both only clean because we have to
• We both love the arts, painting, drawing...anything creative
• We are very sensitive
• We are nurterers
• We are little kids in grown up bodies
• We love junk food (especially chocolate!)
• We both are attracted to men (ha! Just thought I'd throw that one in :)
• We have gypsie in our blood (We thrive on being free spirits)
• We love the outdoors and being in the elements
• We are spontaneous and irrational
• We let our hearts lead us
• We love animals and always want to have pets
• We write poetry
• We are jokers. We love to make people laugh!

I am seeing, as I grow older, that the man who I held a grudge against for so long, is me. He is so much of who I am and even though he left and chose a different life, I am still his daughter. I see so much of him in me that I cannot rightfully be angry at him, because I know how it feels to be a free spirit (not in the sexual way for me though) and live a life that does not allow for freedom and fancy. So I paint and I sing and I have my own little world of fancy that I call my own and so far...that has kept me happy! I am not like my daddy in one way: I see my marriage as a life long bond and feel lucky to be married to my spouse. So I will keep my free spirited rebellion to my art, my songs and my blogging :)
