Everyone knows that I am a good eater and will eat almost everything that you give me. Well most everyone knows that I have never been a huge fan of raw Tomatoes.... At first I thought that it was just a texture thing(because i am very sensitive to texture) but in the end it really was the flavor. Well this is a confession that I need to make.... I LIKE TOMATOES FOR REAL NOW!!! I don't know why I like them but I do. Don't get me wrong it isn't like I will eat them plain but I am experimenting new ways of eating them so that the texture doesn't get me, I really like the flavor. I learned from Amy that Grape tomatoes are actually really good and full of flavors. Dad has converted me to tuna tomato sandwiches. I tried them on my burger tonight and I liked it. I will eat them if they are on a sandwich. I really must be growing up or something. There I got it out of my system... I LIKE TOMATOES!! just not as much as the rest of the world.
Something else that I have decided means that I am growing up is that I can survive without my medicine. I have come to the point in my life where I have decided that my ADD is a part of me but it does not define me. I have Not taken my medicine for almost 4 months. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!!! I submit that I can not believe it. I am to the point in my life when I need to be in control and make my own decisions. So I have decided that at this point in my life that I don't need my Medicine. I am free. For now at least. One of my great fears is that I will have to start taking it again because of school. I have awesome support from my family and my friends that I can pay attention one of my awesome friends texted me this:
"Good luck with your classes. I wish you the best. I know that you can pay attention."
Thank you Friend!!!! With Confidence like that from others I can do anything. Some people see me as this loud happy confident person that can do anything but I must admit that I am really not. I am in need of confident friends and family to help me out. I know that I can do anything. The part that I feel more grown up is how I Can pay attention for an hour class and I Can sit still and not withdraw from the class into my own little world. I am proud of me!!!!!
So The moral to the story is that I can GROW UP and eat tomatoes and pay attention.
THE END....
