I don't consider myself 'special'....blighted maybe, but def. not special.

I'm not in competitiion with them...I'm just trying to be me, and do what I love...that just happens to generate money.
There is just something about it, that somehow men turn it into a competition, when it isn't 1.
I want them to be proud to be with me, because I am not a Albatross around their neck, simply leaching off of them...I am a woman born with a gift, a need to create.... just let me be me, and let me shine, and I will shower them with so much love they wouldn't know what to do with it all!
This dosen't happen though....the more money I earn, the more awards i win for my work...the more they feel they are in competition with me...less than me.
I've never thrown any of my accomplishments in anyone's face.....because I'm not doing the work I do for money, or awards, I'm doing it because it is a part of my Spirit, something I was born to do....something I LOVE to do.
Why is that so threatning to a man?
Is it because they have nothing like that in their own lives...so they feel I shouldn't either?
