Then and Now

I was…

Timid
Smart
Inquisitive
Stubborn
Blind
Guilty and blameless
Stoic
Rude
Scholarly
Easily tossed around
An enemy of art
and all creeping insects

I am…

Tame
Jovial
Inquisitive
Bolder
Eating mood swings for dinner
Happier
A better speaker
Still scared of spiders
Tailoring words to find sanity
Becoming fiction to find reality
Less of a tomboy
I am both optimistic and
Pessimistic.
