"Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?" ~Fanny BriceI decided to write a blog about myself, maybe some will learn more about me. Sorry that it is a little long, I’m trying to keep it somewhat short.
My name is Cassandra, I’m a daughter, sister, wife, mom, and aunt. I was born in Jacksonville, N.C. but was raised in Texas since I was 6. I am the oldest of 6 kids (3 brothers and 2 sisters). I was a tom boy, I’ve never really been into girly things. I never wear dresses, ever. It has to be a very important event for me to wear a dress or good luck with that. The only time I’ve really wore a dress was to my own wedding or someone elses. Other then that I’m happy with jeans and a t-shirt. Just who I am. I don’t really care for make-up. Again, rarely will I wear it.

I’m a shy person. I don’t open up easily. In fact it takes awhile for me to trust people at all. But if you give me long enough time I’ll eventually open up. I'm a very forgiving person, it takes a lot for me not to forgive you. I’m really a big dork. I love laughing and making people laugh. I like helping people out if I can. No matter what it is, if you ask I’ll do my best to help. I love music and to write. I love playing with my kids and spending time with my husband. I cry during movies. I get scared easily from horror movies, I will be up all night thinking that the movie is going to happen to me. I’m clumsy and sometimes, have my blonde moments. I get loud when I feel threatened. I’m very stubborn at times, especially when I’m right. I could care less what people think of me. But say something about my family or friends then I get very defensive. I do have opinions on several subjects and will give them.
Take Medicaid and food stamps. I hate when people judge others for needing help to make ends meet. I was on Medicaid growing up and there isn’t anything wrong with it. My mom was on food stamps to take care of us. I hate when people say that if you use the government for help you’re lazy. That’s not true. My mom worked hard to take care of us and did everything she could to make sure we were raised right. She use to walk to work every morning holding my baby brother to make sure we were tooken care of. She work 12 hour days, come home and do it all over the next day. Just so we could have clothes, electricity, home, etc. I’m very thankful for everything she did to take care of us. I admire her very much for everything she has done.
I hate violence towards children and women. I get disgusted when I hear anything in the news about a child or woman being raped, abused, etc. I have experience some stuff when I was 8 and would not wish it on anyone else. I wish I could help people who have been thru any of that out. Trust me if I could have a million dollars, I would start a foundation or donate to shelter who help victims of abuse out.
I believe in equal rights to all. No matter what. Something that makes me sad is all the people who voted for Prop 8. I think that it is unfair that gay and lesbians cannot get married in some states. I believe they have a right to be joined together like everyone else. They don’t even care if its called marriage. They just want to be recognized as lifetime partners. They deserve to get all the benefits a straight couple would be given who are married. I hate when people bring the bible into it. It has nothing to do with it. If you want to go there, then lets talk divorce. There are so many people who get married for a few months divorce and remarry in no time. Like its nothing. Now I can see if you get out of a marriage because the spouse was unfaithful, or violent. But to marry someone then divorce them because you can is crap. Its alright for them to remarry 10 times but people can’t acknowledge a gay couple who have been together for years and are happy to have each other.
I’m pro-life myself but am pro-choice when it comes to other women’s bodies. I feel they have a right to choose an abortion. I do NOT agree with women who do not use birth control and use abortion over and over. Those women do piss me off. There is so much birth control to pick from, surely something will work for you. Now if the birth control fails and you think that’s best for you then I will support you with anything you need. Personally I would never abort a child myself. But again, that is just me.
I'm going to get off of here, just wanted to share.
