B

‘WHAT ARE WORDS?’

B is for BELLIGERENT {inclined or eager to fight, hostile or aggressive}

I used to be BELLIGERENT all of the time. It was very unbecoming, especially for a lady. It was difficult. I was raised to be a lady, by parents who came from two generations before me, and from a more gentle time. At the same time, my father was a hard man and he raised me to take care of myself. Living a contradiction isn’t easy.

My BELLIGERENCE usually took a verbal form, but I have to admit I have an incredible BELLIGERENT ‘look’. Life has taught me, it’s so much easier to have a pleasant ATTITUDE. I’ve learned to stop looking for the fight. I’ll still fight for what I believe in, but most of my beliefs are too sacred, to fight about.  Look at the glass half full instead of half empty. Life isn’t such a contradiction anymore. What is, is. Me, I’m better.
