I Was A Young Kid From Long

I've Watched Those Shows My Whole Life - Being On One Is Like A Dream. It's Hard To Balance That Dream With The Fact That This Is The Edie I've Known My Whole Life.

I'm Just Not One Of Those People Who Thought Having Biological Children Was That Important, To Me It Was More About Wanting To Raise A Child.

I've Also Learned To No Longer Feel Guilty If I'm Invited Out And Don't Want To Go. If I Start To Say To Myself, 'what's Wrong With You That You're Staying In Five Nights In A Row To Watch 'forensic Files' Instead Of Going Out With Your Friends' I Remind Myself That It's What I Need To Do For Myself At That Point.

My Kids Have Never Seen Me Scream At Anybody. They've Never Seen An Argument. There's Never Been Even A Cold Silence. And Those Are Things That I Grew Up With Because My Parents Did End Up Divorcing.

I've Never Been All That Interested Or Aware Of What People Are Thinking About Me Or Saying About Me. I Think That Has Kept Me Safest And Sanest.
