MyLifeIsAverage - Life is pretty normal today
Today, I remembered that from the time I was 4 until I was nearly 16, I would sleep in pants and shirts, never nightgowns. I left my windows unlatched, too. Why? I wanted to be ready for when Peter Pan came for me. I’m 21 now, and I can’t remember when I stopped doing this. I grew up and never realized it. MLIA.
Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved to create. She would create anything and everything. She would write stories, paint pictures and design images. She was limited by nothing but her imagination. She was inspired by great quotes and encouraged by knowledge. She read the words in every picture and lived in the world of every book. She did not know the meaning of the word "impossible". But she knew she was not invincible, so she learned to keep up and think fast. She valued trust, honesty, love and laughter. She knew how to take a secret to the grave, and lived for the thrill of a puzzle. She cherished the simplicity of a melody and the complexity of a song. She craved communication and understanding, and learned language after language, taking her to places around the world. And all of this made her different from everyone else, and she knew it, but she also knew she would rather be different than the same. She loved many things: dreaming, stories, laughing, playing, make-believe, her true love. She loved her life. But above all else, she loved the mystery. The mysteries of the world, of people, of life. She knew that her life, she herself, even, could never be summed up in a paragraph. But she tries. She puts her thoughts out there. And all we can do is follow her as she becomes who she will be."The only constant in the world is change."
