Losin’ It!

Janis Joplin is far from my favorite singer from her era, in fact I don’t like her music at all.  But I’ve read a thing or two about her and I’ve seen those true Hollywood stories about her, and she was an interesting person.  Sure, she died young, but she did things her way, and didn’t allow anyone to talk her out of it.  I respect that.

I hope others see me that way.  I can compromise when it comes to certain things, but not when you’re talking about who I am, or what I stand for.  We all can learn something from her words I think.  A lot of women I know will mold themselves to what their husbands want them to be, or what their neighbors think they ought to be, instead of just standing up for who they really are.

I am going to make a true effort to be ME.
