Rights

I know that I cannot control people actions.

I am talking about rights and freedom.

At 62 I am not talking about people's responses.

I personally don't care .

I use to care but the ones that cared are Gone

I have lived long enough that I am setting myself free of other people's opinions.

I have rights. I'm interested in my well being. I am respectful.

I am responsible for how I react.

If family squirms well let them.

For the most part people are not in my life anymore. I live a long way from home.

I have to be Me!

I am going to say something.

I am blessed.

I choose my response.

Being silenced about adopting put me in a Prison.

I am speaking out.

Speaking out has set me free. And yes I am going to choose my attitude whether people like it or not that's just the way it is. But let me tell you that I won't be there long in a bad attitude.

But I will be there in my attitude as long as I need to be. Cuz I'm going to feel my anger when I'm angry and hurt when I'm hurt.

I control no one. They are responsible for their own actions not me. This is what I'm talking about.

But I am going to speak out of how it hurt. And I know I've dealt with it as it's come my issues.
