I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock

I'm solid as a stone, baby wait and see
I've got just one small problem here in Little Rock
Without you, baby, I'm not me

Yesterday I told Elliot
I am demanding, difficult, and I want it all. I want to work when I have kids, I want a husband who shares house and kid responsibilities. I will hire a baby sitter when I need to go work out. I want a date night each week for myself and husband. I am a feminist, who believes in equality. I will be planning on traveling. I want to take my kids to foreign countries. I want to be able to spend long days and nights in the comfort of someone elses arms. I do not want to change who I am or what I want. I am willing to compromise. I don't want to convert to another religion as I think mine is pretty beautiful. I love that I'm stubborn. I want to be able to have a life outside my family and inside my family. And that if he doesn't or isn't comfortable with that, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with what I've chosen in life. I'll be okay if he chooses that he doesn't want what I want, or isn't able to see what I see.

I think my dad would have been proud. For the the first time I was putting words to what I've been working on all this time. I chose to maintain who I am in spite of a relationship.
