I am myself.

I can't be somebody I'm not. Not even for people I dearly care about.

If I get hurt, oh well. I'll heal, and learn for the next time.

I will not step on eggshells to avoid popping inflated egos.

I will not lie. Don't ask me to.

If you can't understand something of me, or if you don't like something I do, tell me. I'm not a mind reader.

To dislike yourself is to insult your friends.

I live. I dream.

And I can fly.

The storm is over. Let spring come.

I am also not beyond self-serving posts. Happy birthday to me. ;)

"Vivrem comme cavalli
Liberi dai recinti di ferro
Che piu non voglio
Rinnegare i sensi
Su dai fuggiam
Vivrem comme cavalli"
(Italian translation of Bernie Taupin's "Live Like Horses," probably written specially for Pavarotti. See source at http://www.potomachorse.com/livelike.htm)
