Impromptu Life

[UPDATE] Since many liked the idea, I tag The Archer for an “I am” post;)

A puts me through this every once in a while. This is the most recent. And I love how A is a mystery on this blog;)

I am. I am the little girl who broke her arm in second grade because her cousin lent her roller skates that were too big for her. I am the lady who observes passers by in wonder because they have a life just like and just not like hers. I am the person with a purple internal self. I am the girl who asked her mom if everyone in the world will feel pain. I am the little girl who refuses to cry in front of people, and when she does, she denies it with tears rolling down her cheeks. I am the woman who isn’t afraid to cry when she’s alone. I am the little girl who stares through people she can’t understand. I am the girl whose hand is shaky when she’s upset. I am the friend who won’t let her friend take antidepressants. I am the woman who doesn’t want to go back to being emotionally safe. I am the control freak who needs anxiety pills. I am the girl who learned to bottle things up and not spill them. I am the woman who misplaced her heart somewhere down the road. I am the girl who smiles through her fears and disappointments. I am the little girl who cried for her dad when she had a nightmare as a teenager. I am the lady who blinks back pity when the person she’s talking to looks into her eyes. I am the friend who pushes her issues aside to play therapist. I am the person typing this without doubt.

A, okay? Anything else?
