So you want to know something about me, huh? Where to begin…

I’m Angela. I’m 23 years old, born on May 3rd. That makes me a Taurus. And yes, I really am stubborn as a bull.

I’m 5′1″ and a little bit on the curvy side. I’m not fully comfortable with my size and looks, but I’m working on that. A lot of my self-esteem problems come from problems and situations in my past, and I’m working on letting them go.

I’m a very friendly person. I get along with most anybody, and I like to make others happy. I tend to care too much about hurting other peoples’ feelings, though. Matt, my husband, says that it’s almost a weakness that I have. But my mom always told me that I had the biggest heart of anyone she’d ever known, and that I was a great person because of it. I guess I just need to find that middle ground.

I’ve always been very dedicated. I’m the person you’d find working overtime and actually liking it. I’m a bit of a workaholic, but I’ve always figured that you have to work hard in order to make it worth your while. Right now, I’m not working. I’m waiting for permanent residency in Canada. I don’t know what I’ll do after that. It’s a “jack of all trades, master of none” situation, but my sister-in-law says that’s better than “jack of few trades, master of one” - I suppose she’s right. I just need to figure out what I want to do.

I’ve found the kind of love that I thought only existed in movies and books. It’s a love that will last forever and that has spanned over 1400 miles on more than one occasion. My husband is the most supportive person I’ve ever met and takes great care of me. I see a lot of promise in our future!

I have a lot of little things that bug me, you know, pet peeves. I’m not one to actually say anything about them, though. I’ll just sit and seethe, or tune it out. I’m quite the pacifist - I don’t want to make waves with anyone! I do have a lot of things that I love, though, and I try to remember these things every day. It helps keep me positive!

The only thing that I request is that you show me as much respect as you’d want me to show you. You can have your opinions of me - I respect that. I just know that this is my journal, my life, and my feelings. I have the right to delete or ignore any hurtful comments, or anything else that I deem inappropriate.

We’ve all got meanness in us, but we’ve got goodness too. And the only thing worth living for is the good. And that’s why we’ve got to make sure we pass it on.
