I Am..

I am Bryn Gaston.

I am a proud daughter, and baby sister.

I am an aunt - It is what I do best.

I am a best friend, and I am a solace.

I am weak, yet I am strong.

I am a coward, yet I am brave. I love, yet I hate.

I am a survivor - A speaker for those who feel helpless.

I am a defender - A defender of both those I know, and those I do not.

I am a believer - A believer in total equality for all.

I am both a rock and one who leans.

I am hypocritical, and sometimes judgmental.

Every day I fight to change, but I am human.

I cannot be perfect.

I am passionate, and I love to help others.

I am introverted, but I do not mind.

I am flawed, but my flaws will never hinder me.

I am a Christian. I fail God, but I know I am loved.

I try to find beauty in everything.

I strive to always be understanding.

I am a good person.

I am a listener.

I notice all the little things.

I am insecure.

I am kind.

I am a dreamer - One of the biggest you will meet.

I aspire to be a special education teacher.

I dream of equality -

True equality for the earth.

I dream of my future, of both my successes and my failures.

I dream of an end to all fighting -

That countries can look past differences and become friends.

I am a feminist.

I am forgiving,

Although I do not trust easily.

Many days I am a pessimist,

Although I try to be optimistic.

I am young at heart,

Because I was forced to grow up too fast.

Most importantly, I am me.

I have found myself, and I do not intent to ever let go.
