What I Am

What I Am

A Story by snapstache

All the things I want to be and all the things I already am.

"

I want to be the woman men fall hopelessly in love with.  And, in a way, I know that I already am.  I see the way they look at me.  I listen to their constant appraisal of me as the “perfect woman”.  They tell me how lucky the man I end up loving will be, but that they also know I won’t love anyone.  They tell me that’s the best part.  “I need you because you don’t need me”.  They tell me how amazing I am, how complex and versatile I am.  They can’t figure me out.  I’m like “a dude with tits and an a*s”.  I’m low maintenance.  I don’t need them to be faithful to me.  I just need them to give me pleasure.  Other women call me a s**t because my sex drive is higher than most of theirs.  I crave physical contact.  It gives me peace.  I need nothing but kisses and drugs.  I don’t need love.  Love ruins love-making.  It engulfs your brain.  You spend all the time you normally spend doing what you naturally do well, trying to impress the other person.  You think about every little action, what will they think of this? Do they enjoy what I’m doing now?  You want to make them happy.  I don’t like love, I think.  I don’t like the upkeep.  It’s stressful.  I want to be happy.

I want to be all the things that I already am.  I cannot see them in myself because mirrors are not an accurate representation of matter.  We can never truly see ourselves as we are.  We see our reflection, an inflection of others in ourselves.  We will never be satisfied, but we can be sated.  I don’t want to live my life sated, sedated, by the corruption in this world.  I want to live, to experience everything I can.  Everything I am.  I am young and I want to act young.  I want to love more than one man.  I don’t want to be confined at such a young age.  I deserve to experience, to thrive, something I can’t do if I am static.  I refuse to remain static to appease the people.  I refuse to make others happy at the consequence of my vitality.
