i'm tired eyes and bed hair. i'm coffee stains on the pages of my favorite books. i'm dry humor in the morning when all i want to do is sleep. i'm my favorite song lyrics blaring through the speakers on a long road trip. i'm a stranger sitting on a park bench watching people live their lives while all i do is sit and observe. i'm all the places i've been to and explored on sunday mornings leaving little bits of me when i go. i'm the tide splashing at my feet while i make pictures in the sand. i'm a quote from my favorite movie that i've seen too many times to count. i'm shorts and a tank top on a warm summer day then boots and a coat on a cold winter night. i'm a fishing pole in its stand on the bank of a murky lake. i'm late nights out with friends when i should really be at home in bed. i'm the thrill of sneaking into somewhere you shouldn't be and the terror of getting caught. i'm goodnight kisses and early morning hugs.
so who am i? i am these fragments pulled together, making me tick.
