Well, I've joined the blogging world now. I feel all official. Where to start??
Who Am I?
I've been told in many different situations "You don't look like you've ________." Fill in the blank. I have been a Straight A student, a Goth girl, a County girl, and a City girl...depending on the day of the week. I'm indecisive to say the least and a big-time dreamer to say the best. I've had jobs like taking surveys in the malls...you know those people you used to run from when you were trying to shop. I've sold you the tickets to your favorite concert at Ticketmaster. I've helped you find that perfect outfit in Hot Topic and fit you for the perfect running shoes in Oshmans. I've handed out the bags of food at the Food Bank. I've washed your car at the fundraiser. I've been the one with my head down at church on Wednesday, and my hands up high with praise on Sunday. I'm the girl standing on the corner waiting for the bus; I'm the girl in the fast car next to you at the light. I've been to prison. I've tutored your children. I've baked the office brownies and dressed to impress. I've lived on ramen noodles and cheese sandwiches; I've dined at the Five Star restaurants. I've made big money, little money and no money. I've hurt people I love, disappointed them all, and amazed them all.
I'm not sure I can really define Who I Am, What I Am. I can say that I love my boys with all I have. I've made some of the worst decisions a person can make, but I've learned some of the best lessons some never learn. I know that money CANNOT buy you anything worth living for. I know that honesty is the ONLY policy. I know that girls can fart just as much as boys and boys can cry just as much as girls. I know that there will never be an obstacle too big to overcome with a prayer and faith. I also know that while my life will never be that Fairytale I've always dreamed of; it is in fact my very own Disenchanting Fairytale that continues to show me the truths in my life in the most unpredictable, unconventional, irrefutable ways. And THAT is all I've ever dreamed of.
