The Girl Who Never Went Anywhere

You know the girl who sauntered through the hallways with books tucked under her elbows? The one with big, round glasses who couldn’t kick the ball straight? The one who never fit in; the one who didn’t spend two waking minutes away from the TV; the one who couldn’t wait for life to happen. That know-it-all shorty with big dreams and even bigger doubts; who wanted to experience what was missing; who wanted to take a chance. The one who was not meant to follow a path someone else carved; never could walk in somebody's shadow.


I am the girl who never went anywhere, and I am the girl who has the enviable job of going everywhere.
