Who I Am
The older I get, the more I realize
that my life has not been about
discovering who I am,
but about becoming who I am
Over the years, I have become
kinder, wiser, more creative, and
more outspoken
I have seen hard things,
like slow death, sudden death, mental illness,
substance abuse, and cancer, which have all touched me closely
I have learned to do mental gymnastics
and make a life changing decision on the fly,
I have learned to research for loved ones
not in a position to do it themselves,
I have learned to persevere and stand
tall during circumstances that have been known
to break a strong person
I have become someone I love and respect!
