I Absolutely Will




Do as I please~ with or without you.
I never follow rules made for blind fools.

Since eighteen, my life has been all mine.
It’s very costly, but ring those chimes!

I just cherish, those few friends,
Who stand by me, till my life ends.

I won’t sell out for popularity.
That empty, soul-less…place to be!

So true, Bill. Plenty of daggers in my back, and so what? They showed their true colors. That is life. Many phonies for one reason or another. I do know who my enemies are. But thank God for people like you. Mental illness is loved these days. As much as that phony, Fauci, and his money making pandemic! God help us. Love, Pangie xx Freedom lovers are loathed these days.

"True to thine own self" -- hang in there, Pangie. Blessings. "It ain't over till..." you know who sings.

Hi Linda. Being myself has afforded me the chance to make a difference in programs and in peoples lives. Without solid mentors, I never would be who I am. Being liked is hardly one of my goals. That is just being part of the “lonely crowd”. I am sure many here are their own persons. For me, it is a primary goal. I honor your visit and who you are. Merci. Love, Panagiota xx

And whatever happened to 'Most popular girl' in high school anyway?! In my class, she turned out to be a staunch advocate for lesbian rights... ~ Mr. NJ (Non-judgmental)
