Re a Drop of Golden Sun

So, I've been thinking lately about what makes me me. I mean, I know there is really only one thing that makes us who we are, and everything else is just an extension of that. This, however, is my list of extensions that stop me from being a clone of anyone else. 1. I aspire to be Mary Poppins when I grow up. 2. I absolutely love juice boxes, I could drink them forever. 3. Chelsea is probably my hero. 4. I fear change, no matter how many times change has turned out good for me, I still fear it. 5. I do have a favorite number, and it is five. 6.

Acceptance

Okay, here are the things I want to say to you: 1. I had an awesome summer and I took a lot of pictures. You can check them out here . 2. I really like driving by myself along the interstate. Stella, Henry, and I had a lot of bonding time. We're all very close now. 3. I'm really grateful I have a good car that never broke down once. I pray she remains that way. 4. I won't tell you who I wished was sitting next to me sometimes while I was driving because it is completely ridiculous. I will tell you the conversation I imagined us having in my head. I would tell him I don't like driving at night, it stresses me out. Then he'd laugh at me and make some comment about how that is because I'm a girl and crazy. Then I'd say yes I AM a girl and I AM crazy and I don't like driving at night. Then he'd laugh again and shake his head. Then he'd offer to drive, but he'd say it like this, "I can drive if you want" as though it's a ...
