I was going through my jewelry box this morning, [when I say jewelry- I mean my collection of outdated beaded necklaces and mood rings that I somehow, cannot toss.] and I came across something that I bought a couple of years ago. I was infatuated with someone, in love even, and actually purchased something small with their initial on it, to wear around my neck.
Um... No.
I had to laugh.
Was I actually that far from my own identity?
I do not blame this person. I must let that be known.
Not long after stumbling upon that piece of the past, I went to grab something from my nightstand and saw this beauty.
Thaaat's better.
[And I also realized that Liz Lemon wears one in gold]
It's crazy to fathom that we can lose ourselves so quickly in someone else. I'm pretty excited that I am lucky enough to be able to see this now. The next time that I fall for someone, I will be wearing my own identity, as it has become something that I love.
Having a Crohn's flare has shown me that I am very much stronger than I thought I was. While I have an amazing support system of family and astoundingly loyal friends, I came this far thanks to my own strength. There are a lot of sparkling words that start with the letter A.
My favorite, just so happens to be
ALICIA
