I'm scared. For the first time, in a very long time, I'm scared. I'm afraid that the person I have become is not the person I will be in the future. I'm supposed to grow and change and learn to understand my place in this world. So far, however, all I have managed to do is label school as a horrible cave of terror and distrust. Of scandals and insecurity.
Then I turn to you. You pick me up and kiss my cheeks. You always do that when I'm crying. You hold me close to your heart and I melt into your embrace. I know, that in this moment, I am completely safe. Any moment of my total irrationality is forgotten and I feel like we are starting all over, but never missing a beat. You make me who I am and you make me better. You help me to be stable and strong. You help guide me even when I feel as though there is nothing worth smiling for.
It may seem as though I am comparing you to my Heavenly Father...
