I spent a lot of money on an education I'm still not sure about. I 'kissed a few frogs' so to speak. I watched too much television and read not enough books, but I'm doing differently now. I really tried to be someone my parents would be proud of. I think they are, but sometimes I'm not sure why.

I tried to do something a little different, but sometimes ended up following the crowd. I never wanted to be a part of the sheeple, but I also tried, perhaps wrongly, to be someone else's version of normal. I crawled, danced, swam, ran and tripped here. And I definitely fell a few times.

I walked a little bit too. And drove a relatively lame car that has never really given me reason to complain. I wrote a lot of words down. I let myself get caught up in the moment. I underthought. I overthought. I broke my own heart.

And I really hope one day I'll stop asking how I got here and just be here, and that will be enough.
