Give me ATTENTION!!

INTRO:
I'm a believer of the zodiac. 

No, I don't read my daily horoscope, or play my lucky numbers based on how the stars are aligned. (if that's even a thing)...
BUT.

YES.

I do ask a person "what's your sign", almost immediately after I ask for their name, 

or a subtle, "when's your birthday" (it's never because I'm planning to get you a gift) 

I don't pass immediate judgement based on their answer, but I do take several mental notes (& if it's someone of romantic interest, I do some compatibility research) 

The point is, I believe.

So back to the REAL point...

Me.

I'm a LEO! 

::throws confetti in the air, pounds chest, throws gang signs::

almighty king of the jungle. 

& I must say, God sprinkled a little extra dose of "attention seeker" when he made me.

BRUH... 

If I could have a parade for me outside my house when I wake up to go to work in the morning,

I'd set it up. 

As the baby of the house, this was never a problem, life was my parade. 

At 28 years old... ehhh

the parades over.

But I find myself time & time again needing attention from just about everyone. The guy at the bodega making my coffee, the girl at the front desk of the dentist, my friend from JHS that I haven't seen in 10+ years... simply put.

EVERYONE.

& truth be told

Ain't nobody got time for that. 

That can really take a toll on a girl like me.
The less attention I get, the more I go around looking for it, in the completely wrong places. I use to deny this about myself before. Refused to accept that I was one of those people.
BUT LAWD, every inch of me is like that.

The good thing about acknowledging your downfalls, is you are more consistent in looking for a solution. I'm currently working on understanding that people have other things to do, aside from entertaining me 24/7. That no one does or ever will breath, sleep & eat Eliz.
::sigh::

& that's ok.
