The Obsessive Compulsive fwame wesistant suit
There are always times when I feel as if there are things I want to change about myself, things that I love, and then there are the things that you like…but at the same time would do anything to get rid of. My “fwame wesistant” suit would be that I can sometimes be a bit of a neat freak, or as many people tell me that I might have a slight case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. This is the one thing that I love sometimes, and then other times I want to burn this part of my suit. My desire for everything to be in the right order and in a perfect line can sometimes get in the way of what I need to accomplish. For example, my assignment book is color-coded. This might seem normal when I first tell you, but then you hear that I use the exact same pen for the entire year. A blue STAPLES pen to be exact. If I forget this “special” pen at home, it becomes a huge issue. I can’t write down my assignments during the day at school until I find that exact blue pen. Also, if someone writes on the side of my notebook, or scratches something out, I flip out and feel the need to write the entire thing over…even if it is three pages long. Now, you are probably thinking, she is absolutely crazy. Yes, I would have to admit, I do think I am a little crazy when it comes to these things. The need for my shoes to be in a straight line, or my closet to be organized according to occasion (fancy, school, weekend) is something that I love, and that I hate. I want to “buin my fwame wesistant” suit of my perfectionism when it takes extra time out of my day to fix these things. It can be so time consuming to organize things the way I want them to be, even when these little things in the big picture of life really don’t matter. It is important to recognize which part of your “fwame wesistant” suit you would like to buin because it makes you think about what if you weren’t that way? Would I still be the same Morgan? Probably not…because this is something that defines me, and something that everyone knows about me. This is the time when I contradict what I have just said before, and tell you that I love this part of my character. I don’t believe you can change someone’s character by “buining their fwame wesistant suite” because then its not truly who you are, or what defines them as a person. So, not only do I HATE my obsessive compulsivness when I get made fun of, or if someone provokes me (when someone feels the need to make me angry and take a RED pen in my assignment notebook that is all BLUE), but I also love it because it is a part of my personality.
