I have had the wind knocked out of me - but never the hurricane.

I have no shame. I am crass. I am sarcastic.

I am not looking to be saved. I am not apologetic.

But I dance til it hurts.

I love like I mean it.

I sing when no one is listening.

I run like I might get caught.

I am deeply and eternally grateful.

I am brave.

I laugh like laughter is infectious, and I am the monkey in that one movie...you know - that movie with the monkey.

I assume you know what I mean, but if you're not sure where I'm coming from... Just ask. I dare you.

I used to think that I was destined to die young... now I'm convinced. Nothing as good as my life could ever last.

I am a unique and shiny snowflake - just like everyone else.
