Today when I looked in the mirror, I observed that I was wearing a They Might Be Giants shirt, pigtails, my glasses, and had my rat on my shoulder. Though this is not at all unusual for me, it made me think. I thought to myself, for the first time in my life, "this is exactly who I want to be."

I am a wallflower.
I am bad at math.
I love science, art and literature.
I love animals.
I love music.
I love dancing.
I love rain.
I love to talk about myself and my family.
I'm impatient.
I'm stubborn.
I'm afraid.
I'm not a spiritual person.
I see beauty in strange places.
I'm not stupid.
I'm not smart.
I'm not perfect, nor would I ever want to be.
I embrace my flaws.
I don't like to make a big deal out of life.
I know my worth on this planet.
I cry easily.
I love to cry.
I promise not to write a sappy entry like this ever again.
I don't always keep my promises.
