I'm still a little girl running from monsters

Born a survivor. Nothings pretty when nothing is handed to you.
I taught myself that when I'm down I can still come through. Its hard to believe that I have created this life, something worth being part of. People have come in and out of my life. I trust easy and instantly. I Love hard. Its beautiful to believe in everything. That will never change. But when I'm done, I'm done. There is no going back.

"You are oddly independent Johanna. We all are independent...but you have always made it though on your own. Different than the rest. Just you." ~Emily.

I'm built to outlast where I came from. I learned to do it all myself. I've never asked for anything from anyone.
I see the difference between Need and Want. God doesn't always give you what you want. Trust him.
I don't back down. I fight for what I believe in. I'm true to myself, my friends and my family.
I'm not perfect. Sometime I leave myself on my own warpath. I try to work on myself every day. I strive to be a better friend. Mom. Girlfriend. Co-worker. Better.
Its ok that life is a tough crowd. When you lose your balance remember that Everyone has messed up too.
We are all works in progress. Forgiveness is a gift. I forgive.
I don't pitty myself. I don't look down on myself either. There are always consequences. But I know I don't have to be where I've been.

After all of it I run and jump into My Loves arms "Boost Me!" and its all ok. Because no matter how strong I am and how far I've come...I Lose my mind chasing after it. I cry. I hurt. I'm still a little girl running from monsters. I still love a starry sky on a rooftop. Butterflies. Twiddling my toes on a dashboard. Singing to every song on the radio. I'm still growing up. I'll want a hug.
