I still get hung up. I still act recklessly without thinking. I still let my emotions lead me around like a pup on a leash. I still am entirely too selfish. I still get stuck in the crowded throngs that fight for space in my head. I still obsess about those I fear losing most, and manage to obscure what’s truly important.

But I’m so far from where I used to be. I’m pretty surprised at the person I’m struggling so hard to be. She’s gonna be awesome.
