Who am I?

Standard protocol for beginning a new blog always seems to call for an answer to the question, Who am I? For this simple reason I hate beginning a new blog. How do you answer that question? How do you know when your answer is too simple, leaving readers with no insight to the real you or when there's so much detail that you leave people feeling overwhelmed? And what if you don't feel that you truly know yourself?

For me the simple answer to that question is: I am Melissa.

A more detailed answer would be: I am Melissa, the woman who is truly a child at heart, the woman who experiences great joy in small things, the woman who is random and occassionally very loud, the woman who adores pink and buys all things Breast Cancer Awareness related. I am the enigma wrapped up in a mystery and topped with a riddle whose answer is quite simple if you take the time to figure it out. I am the daughter of divorced and remarried (to different people) parents. I am the computer nerd who loves to write. I am the Customer Service Coordinator who both hates and loves her job. I am the friend who can both starve you for affection and drown you in it. I am the one who's honest to the point of brutality and refuses to pull any punches or sugarcoat anything.

I am me and there is no one else that I would rather be.
