About
I'm that girl you see in museums with a text book, or a notebook, frantically taking notes.
I'm that girl eating by herself in a restaurant, or cafe, buried in a fantasy novel, disinclined to socialize.
I'm that girl whose glasses were snapped in two in fifth grade by a bully; that bully subsequently split his lip on a little girl's gumball-machine ring.
I'm that girl we all were in elementary school, in grade school, in high school...
I'm that geek that's going nowhere with dreams bigger than she is.
I'm that nerd whose eyes see only through a rose-colored lense of imagination.
I'm that talentless artist in a paint-stained bandana, with a charcoal-smudged face.
I'm that child, still digging in the raw earth with a bent serving spoon, and an old Tupper Ware bowl, hoping to uncover buried treasure in my tiny backyard.
I'm me, and I'm okay with that.
