Dear World, I'm me (Love Simon Wattpad entry)

I am Breyla Lundgard

Dear World,
Who am I? That's the real question right. The question that only 90 year old women sitting on their porches in the sweltering heat of Alabama seem to be able to answer. The one that teenagers spend their entire highschool careers trying to figure out. Am I a basketball player? Am I a skater? Do I like dark music or rap? Am I emo or goth or scene? Am I popular or a cheerleader? A jock or a band geek? Am I a music nerd or an outcast? Do I fit in or am I meant to stand out? What if I'm nothing? For a long time I thought that was the case. I thought I was invisible. I spent so much time jumping through circles that it didn't even hit me when I realized who I am.

So Dear world,
I'm me. I'm the incredibly loud kid who doesn't seem to have an inside voice, I'm the music geek with no sense of fashion who wore plaid with stripes and polka dots all through elementary school. I'm the girl that everyone wants to know but nobody knows how to start the conversation. I'm the incredibly awkward one. I'm the one who seems social on the outside but would much rather be curled up on the couch with a cup of tea and a good book. I'm the science nerd. The one who laughs at stupid puns and who can take a joke.
Dear World,
I'm the girl you tried to tear down. I'm the girl you gave every reason to quit but who kept trying because she knew it'd be worth it. I'm the girl who's ass you kicked, but who came back better and stronger than before. I'm the girl who made it. I'm the one everyone looks at and thinks Wow shes tough. I'm equal. I'm no greater than the next guy or the one after that. I deserve no more or no less than the most important person in this world. Simply because I'm different, simply because I don't fit into society's mold of a "perfect person" does not mean I am not entitled to the same things as anyone else. We are one in the same, you and I. I have every right to love. I have every right to be with who I want to be with. I have the right to spend my days happy without a care in the world. I'm the one who wants to smile without force, who loves without even trying despite being hurt. I am Breyla Lundgard. The big name with even bigger shoes to fill. I am the person I made myself to be. Not fitting into one specific category, not belonging to any one group. I'm the girl that fell in love with a boy and never once stopped to see the consequences. I'm the girl who ran and never looked back.
I am everything and I am nothing.
I am me.

Love, me
