I'm still mad

Yes, I'm still mad about that story.

It's not that I don't need a makeover. (It's not that I'm not getting one now, if you've been reading). But the makeover they're trying to sell me I will not buy.

I submit that my, ahem, stubbornness may be at the root of why I am alone.

But I am not stubborn for its sake alone. I want to give and receive the best that I can.

This ain't high school. This is life. Maybe the ideas like the writer of that article has should stay there.

I am mad because of the limits those ideas want to put on me, and I am simply not having any of it.
