Why do big ass truck drivers with no penis park like this. My car barely fits in these compact spaces and this guy thinks it is okay to take up two of them?? #reddingcalifornia #parklikeadick #parklikeanasshole #parklikeadouche #reddinglife #ca8R61778 #compensating #compensatingforsomething (at Winco Foods)

The mess

I don’t have long legs, long arms, or long fingers. I am wider, shorter, more condensed than most- than most of those around me. Who walk tall and high, slender and graceful, always prepared for a picture (the kind I usually take). I wear my hair the way it falls, my makeup isn’t daring, my clothes are there to cover me up. To be honest, I just stopped caring. To keep up with it all would be a drag. I lack the motivation. To look presentable, to make myself known, to open up and let others in, to listen intently and learn from the best, to check myself “where am I at?”, to listen and love and "be who you are, and remember that Jesus loves you". How do they do it? Keep it together? Keep their mascara from running? I’m lucky if I can breathe, stay inside, remain in my seat instead of running. So, simple as I am right now, short and awkward and weird. It’s the only way I can stay in this town. Til the mess that I am is healed.
