Physically:
I'm 5' 7" and weigh about 160. That sounds like I'm overweight, but, I used to lift weights years ago and I still have a lot of my muscle mass. I can weigh as much as 200 lbs and still not look overweight. Whose up for a little arm wrestling? LOL! Granted, I'm not model thin and couldn't be if I wanted to (which I don't). My body type is the typical pear shape. My waist is very small and my hips are wide, kind of like Jane Mansfield. I have very long, thick dark brown hair. My hair is about 2 steps from being an afro because I'm Sicilian and I feel very blessed to have such hair. The hair of my other 3 sisters don't even come close. I would not consider myself pretty, but, more of a classic beauty. I'm definitely not covergirl material. Believe me, though, I have no complaints. I've always been very happy with the way I look. Since I'm Sicilian my skin is light olive color. I love it! Like I said.........I'm very happy with myself! What I find truly remarkable about me is the fact that I turned 51 in March and I don't have any facial wrinkles, not even crows feet. I think it's because I'm Sicilian and my darkish skin. I'm not bragging, but, I just love telling people my age. People can't believe it!
I rarely get sick. The last time I had a cold was 5 years ago and the last time I had the flu was 5 years ago. I can't remember the last time I had a sore throat.
Mentally:
I have an above average intelligence which has always gotten me in trouble all of my life. My family has never liked the way I think. I think very logically and methodically.
I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Major Depression, Anxiety Disorder, Anger Issues, Borderline Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) among other things.
It makes me laugh just thinking about the people who are reading this. I'm sure most people would think, "Oh, she's nutsville!" "Better stay away from her!" I feel that one of my missions in life is to let people know that mentally disabled does not equal mentally retarded. I am far from mentally retarded. In fact, I'm very sad to say that I use more of my brain than most people I've met in my life. I've got more going on upstairs than most people.
Anyway, as a result, I can't work anymore and am living on Disability.
I'm an extremely young 51. Mind you, I'm not saying immature (which I can be, at times!), but, I mean young. I've never been afraid of aging and I'm always telling young people that when they get older they will remain (mentally) in their 20's (more or less). Come to think of it, how should I feel at 51 anyway? Have I made my point here? I think that's what has kept me young. My overall outlook on age and not being afraid of it. So, do yourselves a favor and don't be afraid of getting older. You remain young that way! :)
Emotionally:
I'm very emotional. I'm an Aries and you don't want to be in the same room with me when I get angry. Oh, by the way, when I talk I don't tend to exaggerate or bullsh*t. So.........that last statement is true. I'm a very truthful person in my speech. I say what I mean and I mean what I say.
At this stage in my life I'm only looking for friends. Friends are jewels: Very few and very precious. Many people may have lots of acquaintances and if you're really honest with yourselves you'd know that among those acquaintances you'd only find just one (two at the outset) real friend.
That's why it's so important to choose your friends wisely.
