ME


You may see me as a tall blonde college chick.

I am not.

You may see me as a straight A student.

I am not.

You may see me as slightly overweight.

I am not.

You may see me as a "hipster."

I am not.

I am not defined by these social stereotypes. 

I am not defined by the little box, the neat little cubby, the world wants to shove me in.

I will not be sorted.

I will not be contained.

I will be defined by my actions unto others, and by my actions alone.

I am charity.

I am volunteerism.

I am powerful.
