Once upon a time I was a quiet mouse and a doormat. Being older, more confident, and finally comfortable in my own skin, my filter and acceptance of the status quo ranges from little to none so I will never make myself small again -- but if that's offensive and makes people uncomfortable then they are NOT my people.  I'd rather surround myself with peeps who say I've got a whistling booger dangling from my nose than those who'd point and laugh about it behind my back, if you know what I mean.
