Blinking

It pains me to say it and I never thought I would say it, but I'm blinking first.

I'm not the only one with the problem.

I'm tired of the fight.  I REALLY AM!  I'm tired of the constant stress.  I just want to have fun.  I want to quilt.  I just want to do my own thing.  I want to be left alone. 
There's room in this world.

I WILL NOT BE CHASED AWAY, though.
