WHO I WANT TO BE (From 'Awkward')

“I had been struggling to think of what to say, so I stopped thinking. I was convinced I didn’t know who I wanted to be and then I realized the answer was all around me. 

I want to be someone who’s willing to forgive. 

I want to be someone that cares more about others than themselves.

I want to be someone who can tell it like it is.

I want to be someone who would give up everything for the right reason.

I want to be someone who sees the best in everyone.

I want to be someone who is a true friend.

I want to be someone who always tries to be a better person

and someone who learns from her mistakes. 

I guess I want to be someone who encompasses all those things so I can finally be that girl who doesn’t need a boy to be happy because I’ll know how to dance all on my own.”
