Hey you.
Look. ... I remember when you laid that stone down, and you didn't know what you were building. ... I remember and I know you do too. Look. I'm so proud of you. For a moment, I thought it was possible to stay unabashedly focused.
For a moment, I thought I could do this. Like this. Just for a moment. Your beliefs should determine your actions, not the other way around.
I've always been the person I've dreamed of being. I've always been me.
I feel like I have the strength, and power, and brilliance of 10,000 stars in my being, but I'm still scared...terrified...held by the thought that everyone around me must see this "young girl who's to be looked down on." I know what You see is me and each of my 10,000 stars that you placed in my heart for a reason. Please help me to see that too. Amen.
I don't think I know how to miss this place, or you, because I've never had to live without either.
Learning for learning's sake can be quite beautiful, but quite selfish.
The problem is not that I don't know who I am, nor is it that I don't have the courage to be me. The problem is that I don't know how to be me.
How can I want what I don’t have if there is a reason I do not have what I do not have?
