"Lea"

Dear Santa,
For Christmas this year I would like a vacation from emotion. And I'm still waiting on that pony.

It's frustrating. Just when I'm starting to look on the positive side of life and really make some happy progress, everyone and everything goes into negative focus. I just... I'm surrounded by negative. Work, home, the economy, the past, the present. But I don't want that anymore. I have the tools to move on so how do I explain to people? How do you convey just how different you are without doing a visual presentation with Power Point? The name change was a choice to illustrate how I want others to see me. I'm not Laura anymore, I'm Lea. I'm a 25 year old vegetarian who enjoys a few Camel Lights on the back patio with her dog who is the only male she needs or wants. I don't do what she did, don't think or talk or look the way she did, and I don't feel the way she did either. Don't consider me or treat me that way. So I thought the easiest way to do that would be to change my name because "what's in a name?". A lot. Everything of who I am and want to be and very little of who I was. Take this for what it's worth which is a short introduction to me.
