State


I am the sort of person who

Never comes late for anything.
Never lies for personal gain or even protection.
Never wears makeup.
Never mocks anyone to their face.


I have, however,

Left early.
Lied to avoid conflict.
Pretended illness.
Torn pretentious people to shreds in private.


I would prefer

To be just on time and enjoy staying to the end.
To never lie at all, and once in a while blurt out embarrassing truths - but people just laugh.
To be healthy and comfortable in whatever I'm in.
To be easy going and thick skinned and tough minded.

Bravery, yes.

And resilience, too.

Don't wish too hard. You may get what you wish for and end up a completely different person. Perhaps better, perhaps wuss but it would require a different blog.

your thick-skinned comment reminded me of my own mantra that has done me well:
be sensitive to people's sensitivities and be insensitive to people's insensitivities.

Phil,

And most people get that backwards. I usually do, but now I will remember this.
