I am…
A daughter, the eldest of my
family, growing up in Springfield, but raised on the sands of Florida and
eating crab legs with my mother and grandmother.
Imaginative, spending my childhood
searching for fairies in my mother’s garden, searching for mermaids in the
lake, and wishing upon a unicorn’s horn.
A Disney girl, watching princesses
being rescued by their princes, and wondrous adventures taking place before my
eyes.
A linguist, wishing to study
Japanese before even reaching middle school, with many failed attempts to learn
throughout the years.
Happy and laughing throughout the
day, hoping to being a smile to my friends’ face, but always worrying about if
they still like me or not.
A flower, delicate and beautiful,
dolling myself up on occasion although I still don’t know how to put on makeup.
A witch, imagining Hogwarts since I
was small child, knowing Harry Potter before I made any close friends.
I am…
Comic books and anime, watching
glorious battles and loving romances flourish before me from another culture.
Video games, learning important
lessons about friendship and sacrifice, and living a grander life through the
characters.
Friendship, inviting new people
into my friendship, wanting to make them feel loved and accepted, but will cut
away toxic people for my emotional well-being.
I am...
A minority, expressing love in ways
people wish I wouldn’t, finally thinking it alright to be who I am, and will
love who I love without guilt.
A warrior, beneath my dresses and
flowers is a dragon, ready to fight and struggle for my life against those who
dare attack me.
A feminist, caring and empathetic
to woman and men who have been hurt, and hoping for a brighter future for women
around the world, although equality will never be easy for us; those in power
do not wish to see us rise up.
I am…
Scared for what the future holds,
and uncertainty creeps into my being, unsure how to step forward.
Hopeful for the future, hoping to
press forward in my life and manage it properly.
Stepping forward into my future,
slowly and hesitantly, unsure, but knowing that my family will be there for me,
always.
Dreaming of a future for me,
speaking in a different language, living where I wish, thinking of the days
when I would try to catch stardust in the summer.
Your blog title is awesome and perfect. I'm sure you are a wonderful friend to have--funny and supportive and inviting. You are such an interesting mix of magic and language, warrior and fairy, uncertainty and hope. I hope you keep trying to catch that stardust...
ReplyDeletethe part about the comics and video games are very interesting and i thought that it was cool how your planing to speak different languages.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE HARRY POTTER! So, same. I also don't know how to apply make up either. I wear it but some people are just really skilled and transform their face and I just don't understand. I always joke about needing to watch make up tutorials but I think that would be incredibly boring. I'm still waiting for my Hogwarts acceptance letter... I hope that comes instead of college letters. I really liked how descriptive you were and your word choice was very nice!
