The Real Me

Lately people have told me I'm not myself.
Ever since I had Breast Cancer,
I've been on a hormone shot to shut down my levels of Estrogen.
The type of cancer I had was Estrogen fed.
The Doctor felt the best way prevent it from coming back was to eliminate the source.
Long story short, I'm super PMSy all of the time!
Luckily this is temporary.
Lucky for me & for everyone around me.
I've been doing some thinking...
I want to find me.
The "Real Me"
Below is a song that explains is a bit better.
Enjoy--G

Artist: Alexis
Song: Real Me
COME ON, COME ON, COME ON

OH OH
I TRIP, I FALL, I CATCH MYSELF
EVEN WISHEN I WAS SOMEONE ELSE
I'M NEVER WHERE I'M SUPPOSE TO BE
OH OH
I LAUGH OUTLOUD AT STUPID THINGS
WHEN I'M NERVOUS I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO SING
I'M NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD BELIEVE
I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM YET (AM YET, AM YET)
BUT I KNOW WHO I WANNA BE

CHORUS

IT'S AN ADVENTURE (AN ADVENTURE)
FINDING THE REAL ME (THE REAL ME)
I'M A REFLECTION (A REFLECTION)
EVERYTHING I SEE (THE REAL ME)
I CAN'T WAIT TO DISCOVER
I KNOW IM GOING TO LOVE HER
THE REAL ME

UH UH UH UH UH UH

I STUMBLE, I CRUMBLE WHEN YOU'RE NEAR
AND ALL OF MY THOUGHTS JUST DISAPPEAR
I FIND MYSELF IN AN AWKWARD SPOT
I'M LOSIN SLEEP AT NIGHT
FEEL THE QUESTION IN MY MIND
DOES HE LOVE ME?
DOES HE LOVE ME NOT?
I BUILD UP MY CONFIDENCE WITH EVERY EXPERIENCE

CHORUS TWICE

Hey, sweetie. I can't relate to what you're going through with the lack of estrogen (though the thought of permanent PMS gives me the willies ::grin::), but I CAN relate to people telling you you're not the same after you go through a life-changing experience. But think about it -- how can you POSSIBLY be the same person? And how can anyone EXPECT you to be the same? The anti-estrogen shots aside, they don't call things like breast cancer or losing a sibling a life-changing experience just because you had surgery or there's one fewer person on the planet. Your friends will ride it out, but your TRUE friends will help you to find the new real you. They will welcome her and embrace her and love her as they loved the old real you.

If you need someone to listen, I'm here. I always will be.

Love you.
