and so many other things.

And I look at those words.
At these things that "define" me
and I wonder what they really mean
are they really me?

They for sure make up a lot of who I am.
A lot of who I have become.

And I am so grateful for every little word on that list
without each of them
I wouldn't be who I am without each stick, stone, that has been thrown at me
without each loving endearment that has met me.

without the people in my life pouring into me.
laughing with me.
laughing at me.

my life. would be completely different.

ok this is the end of slightly sentimental meghan.
goodnight.
