Those labels don’t define us, they helped us become the people we are today.

I loved you all then and I love you all today.

PS – I hope you are not thinking of selling Monique

I am trying now to work on defining my life without labels except for one...being me. Cassidy-

I am really enjoying your blog.
I may no longer be the label that I was in high school, but she will always be a huge part of me. I am trying now to work on defining my life without labels except for one…being me.

Whether it be your blogs, your poetry or your music...<br/><br/>I was and likely will always be "the chubby one" - it is a label that I have come to accept over the years. No matter how pretty my face is, how smart I am, how determined or even just how sweet and caring I am, that stigma will always be there. You find that most people don't want to know you because of your size...I find that often, especially when you are "looking for love..." I am one of the lucky ones...I am the fat girl who is smart, pretty, sweet, generous, understanding, etc...who has found the girl of her dreams who really appreciates me and values me for just what I am. <br/><br/>As always Cass...thanks for sharing. Sweet Cass…

You have been blessed with a voice, the ability to captivate a crowd and intro-spection ( is that a word) that most people long for. Your sexy and wonderful for who and what you are and your music has blessed my heart. I got to see you guys in DC last fall...drove 3 hours and it was awesome. <br/><br/>Lee Cass:

I like to think I am happy with myself, but then there is always something that makes you wish you could have a "do over". I am currently a 4th grade teacher and I pay very close attention to what my students say to each other. I try to show not tell them how to act towards one another. No too easy some times. <br/>I became a teacher for many reasons, but one of those reasons was to do what I can to try to keep kids from scaring themselves and others. The school year is still young...so far so good. See you at Bucknell! As I read your blog I found myself feeling some “old” feelings.

Although I had fun in HS, there are still some painful memories and every time there is a class reunion I feel myself automatically start to slip back into those same roles as existed back then, even if only mentally. It kind of unnerves me while at the same time makes me a little giddy. Wierd. Cassidy,

I remember, boy do I remember.....Good to see that ou are so grounded. I saw that for myself here in Schenectady, NY. You played a concert for breast cancer, a small venue, but what a concert! We see you everytime you're in town, which i must say, since your much deserved success, is quite infrequent now! The Albany NY girls, are looking forward to you next visit!
