three letters. one world. my world.


im going to let you guess.

its not an it, its a who.

who would you choose?

 

i had not realized it soon enough.

how alike we were. how completly different we are. how much love there is.

its a typical choice of course.. i know everyone might agree..

but then what about the rest of them.. are they not important enough?

YES A MILLION TIMES YES.. i love them with my whole existance.

but the question was. . . what can you not live without.. in my case who?

 

i was a little one you know, and i was daddy's little princess.. still am

i knew i was his entire world.. my daddy was amazing. he rolled me up in a blanket & tuck me in his jacket.

i was born premature you know.. 5 pounds.

everyone was scared i was not going to make it.. born with asthma.. umbilical cord tied around my neck.. & premature

who would've thought almost 20 years later... little old me would make it to college as a very health girl!

besides the point.. i was raised with much love.. everything they went through was for my brother & i

 

what happened to daddy's little princess.... she grew up.. she spoke out  & she disagreed

i had different views, i meant no disrespect.. i just thought differently..

then one day it struck me... "you sound just like her, you are the same"

what.... me never... we are completly different.

 

thats when i realized... she was my older version. the more mature. the wiser.

more beautiful. stronger. better. pure. and smart.

i am so proud of her.. i am who i am because of her..

i am very indecisive.. very impatient.. very stressed...

if i were in a stranded island... if i had to move far far away.. if i had to leave..

i would take her.. my mom.. my rock.. the one who tells me what to do.. 

my better half..
