Finding Me

I woke up today and decided to have a good day. 

Sometimes that’s all it takes. 

I realized that I like myself. I’m a cool person. I want to get to know myself better. 

I’ve done so many things with the short while that I’ve been alive, and I’ve never taken the time to slow down and just think about who I am and why I push so hard for these major life accomplishments.

I woke up today and picked a good song to listen to while I got ready for the day. 

I listened to ABBA all day and wore overalls like Donna from Mamma Mia would. 

I danced around the office at work and cranked up the goofy even more when my coworker started laughing. 

I enjoyed a walk through the woods on my way to class and felt the sun on my face. 

I talked to friends and ate cereal for dinner. 

I’m finding me again. 

She’s pretty cool.

Right Person, Wrong Time.

 I think that the phrase "right person, wrong time" is bullshit. I wish I could tell my 14-year-old self that it's bullshit. I want her to know why it's bullshit. She wouldn't believe me, though. I wish she knew. The right person comes at the right time in the right way. If they don't come at the right time, it's the wrong person and the wrong time.  The right person will love you deeply, little girl. He won't make you cry. He will not tell you only the things you want to hear. He will be for you because you are, not because of who you could be. He won't leave you alone. He won't disappear without explanation. He'll give you good hugs and real kisses, not just the wish to do such things. He will know you like his own mind. He will be good to you. He will love you in a real and authentic way. You'll know when it's the right person. I promise. If only I could have told her. If only she would have believed it. -Emma Lancaster

Yes, You.

 I'm mad at you. Yes, you. You know who you are. I'm mad because you showed me everything that I could possibly ever want in a man and then you left. You had a good reason for leaving.  I can't deny that. I'm mad, though.  I'm left looking for someone exactly like you. We both know that there isn't anyone quite like you though,  is there? Yes, you. You know who you are. -Emma Lancaster
