If You Could be Anyone
I’ve been asked this many times
My answer has always remained the same
Madeline Albright
She had a voice
But when I found my voice
I no longer needed
Her strength
I had my own
Getting my words back
My memories and my life back
Only worked
Because I chose me
Payton Presley
Would be an experience
Until I realized
I’m practically her
Just without the body
(I’m getting there, without the “enhancements”)
And I’m not a porn star
I don’t need someone else’s fake life
When my life
Is exciting, erotic, sensual and unique
I know what I’m capable of
So are the people I choose
I don’t want to be anyone else
I wouldn’t trade anything
Even the difficulties
I’m me because of those things
Hell, I’ve had people say
They want my life
It’s not for the faint of heart
But it’s mine
My answer has always remained the same

I’ve also been asked why I have a selfie as my avatar given that I write erotica (often dirty) and I expose myself through self poems. The answer is simple. I’m not ashamed of who I am.

I love this so much, and I love your journey. You are so unabashedly you and I greatly admire it.

And neither should you be ashamed! I enjoyed this glimpse into your wishes and revelations.

Thank you, Ahavati
There was a time that I was. The people in my life led me to believe that I was fatally flawed. That’s BS, obviously.
Have a spectacular day.

As one who recalls hearing of Madeline Albright from the news in the Clinton years, I agree she had a strength, likewise April Glaspie who faced Saddam Hussein before the 1991 Gulf War.
As long as one causes no harm to one's relatives or place of employment, I'd say nothing wrong with a selfie as an avatar (mine is openly on my Facebook page). And its reason is similar to yours, having been snapped doing a completed 5k run when aged over 60.

I completed another one the following year, but my speed suffered when a temporary knee impediment that main running painful set in last your (didn't affect my walking nor driving) and it would be some time before I feel I could volunteer again.
