I wanna be...

I wanna be so many things. So many things, I thought I'd make a list.


I wanna be smiling when I wake up tomorrow.

I wanna be inspired by a stranger who can offer nothing but conversation.

I wanna be worth breaking plans with a best friend.

I wanna be worth a long distance phone call really, really late at night.

I wanna be the little girl chasing fireflies late into the summer evening.

I wanna be who I am, only good at it.

I wanna be happy even when I feel sad.

I wanna be so far beyond my childhood fears.

I wanna be good enough for everyone that matters, especially myself.

I wanna be able to hug my children when I need it most.

I wanna be in the presence of people that love me...all the time.

I just wanna be.
