Oooh Marilyn

It has been brought to my attention by my sister, that Marilyn Monroe once said "I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best..."
What can I say? That Marilyn knew what she was talking about and I could bet that we would have been good friends. I have been told that in my younger years I could through an epic tantrum to put all other little girls' tantrums to shame. Apparently I could stomp my feet, throw myself on the ground, kick and wail and even run in place in little circles while doing it. I know my mother well enough to not even imagine that this worked on her for a moment but I do hear that I certainly had my father, various aunts and uncles and even my brother well under my spell.
I have no idea at what age I grew out of my tantrums but I'm sure that selfish, impatient, insecurity is still in me. When you grow up we learn to channel our frustration into other ways, some healthy and some harmful.
I have, at rare times, been called energetic, judgemental, moody, and out of control. And you know what? I am fine with this. No one else is going to live for you so you might as well live for yourself.
