I am from the color purple
I am from extra butter on my popcorn
I am from cheerleading
I am from friday night skating
I am from my songs
I am from late night talks with him
I am from therapy
I am from the iTunes store
I am from 4th of July nights
I am from uggs, sweaters, and hot chocolate
I am from browns games
I am from Coldplay
I am from practice after practice
I am from honesty and reputation
I am from The Root Cafe
I am from a self designed bedroom
I am from being hurt and left behind
I am from sail boats and airplanes
I am from two families
I am from my voice
I am from the perfect closet
I am from “its your turn to pick”
I am from pictures and memories
I am from getting comfortable and leaving again
I am from cupcakes of all kinds
I am from change.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
