“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe

Imperfect Idealist

My name is dvena schleig.I was adopted when I was about 5 years old in Haiti, by my parents Elisa and Shawn Schleig. Like my 2 siblings who were both adopted from other countries before me. Then there's my younger brother who wasn't. First of all, I'm not going to tell you my life story because I will absolutely bore you to death. So I'm just going to keep my intentions on the low facts: The first time I found out that I loved writing was in the 1st grade, when my teacher gave the a assignment to write poetry for Mothers Day. And since that day I still today keep a pencil and a piece of paper near by at anytime. Soon I decided I really didn't want to be just a poet anymore when I started to explore my imagination more. I've never been the most popular, prettiest girl. I'm not active at all in any shape or form. Awful voice and can't play anything. Can't draw. Never gotten good grades. I don't like to deal with hard facts or logic. Sometimes I can be very awkward and uncomfortable about expressing myself verbally. Time to time just don't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment at all. I avoid impersonal analysis. I hate the feeling of negativity towards myself by others around me. Makes me feel alone, no gets it. NO one but myself can understand my complex mind. My brain is just full of question I just need to understand or I'll just lose it at one point in life. Being a Idealist is a hard personality that most people don't have because there to incapable of the true meaning. Never aware of social injustice around us. I think I'm not alone but I need to believe I'm not alone.
