Dissection of "About Me"

Strong Idependent mother who believes if it is meant to be then it will be. 


The paragraph is opened with a pseudo-spiritual, grounded statement suggesting that you, the femina fortis as it were, are unlike other women. You suggest your separation from hussies who are just lookin' for a man. You suggest that you are not clingy, through your implied belief in fate. Spelling and grammatical errors suggest typing with haste, which is unlikely. Most likely cause is carelessness.


I rather have a few true friends then a lot of fake friends. Quality over quantity.


This part of your crude self essay suggests that perhaps you've had great misunderstandings with others in the past. When examined 1mm deeper than surface meaning, one might assume that this is a silent simultaneous shout out to those that have burned you (fake) and those who have stuck by (true). You want them to know that you don't need them. They know who they are and it is essential that they remain on your friends list so that they can see how happy you are and see that you've overcome, because you're a survivor. You're not like those other girls who have a posse. You don't need that. All you need is the tried and true because popularity is not your goal.


I love cuddling, I am not perfect, I am up for a challenge, I seem like I am always strong but I cry too. 


Ah. Yes. The List-O-Descriptive Attributes. You highlight you strength and will once again, and through the use of antonym, paint a true picture of yourself. One full of contradictions, idiosyncrasies, and disclosure of occasional weakness; all of which make you who you are. These things make you human, humble, and relatable. 


I am a true and honest friend, the love I give is 100% and unconditional. I don't hold grudges once your in my life then I believe there's a reason your in it. I would take a bullet for my friends and family. 


This is the sequel to your second sentence, stated above. Here, you highlight your devotion to those who you love. Mentioning these particular convictions at all imply that we live in a world where perhaps not everyone would go to the lengths you do for your loved ones. Perhaps this has a duel function and also exists with the aim to sting to the silent "fake" people mentioned above. If they hadn't hurt you, they could have been one of the lucky few that remained in your circle of quality friends. Notions of a higher power are alluded to through your statement of believing "there's a reason" that particular individual is in your life. 


My daughter and I come as a package deal if you don't want that then you can't have me. 


This sentence highlights your devotion to your child and serves as a warning and eliminating factor for the many suitors you encounter.  Stating this makes you seem level headed and responsible. You make it clear in this statement that you are not to be associated with all of the other young mothers of the world who party their child's essential developmental years away with many different men. However, you are, in fact, stating that you're in the market, because this sentence is geared toward potential suitors. It could be taken as a general statement to anyone looking for your company, but probably not.


I am academically disciplined. I work hard then play hard. I don't judge a book by it's cover. I love extreme sports. I love sports. I am a social person and a people person. I like trying new things. 


You've made the decision to go back to school, but make no mistakes, you still know exactly how to have fun. You do so while remaining responsible and true to your goals. You are not shallow, and you use metaphor with precision and accuracy. You're a tom boy, contrary to the entourage of girly photos that accompany this description of yourself. You're adventurous. You are a diverse and well rounded individual. Your mother adores you, and says so when she writes on your Facebook wall. 


Take me as I am or you know what to do..


You change for no one because your comfortable with who you are. Those who do not appreciate you should know to make themselves scarce.
