Women:Chapter One


A dictionary. A book. A book filled with words and definitions. This word, what does it mean, how do I say it? Multiple defintions of one word, (Can I get a questioning how?) How can one thing be more than just that one thing, that one word? A word can be a phrase, an expression, a term. One word plus one word equals two words. You've got a fragment, but you're forming a sentence. Keep going, add a few more, but don't forget punctuation. A human being. A girl. A girl with feelings. You can't just look up a woman and find out what she means. There's nothing you can read to make you understand her. Being there. Being there for her is the only way. She's made of many parts. different traits along the way. However, she's not some puzzle that you can just piece together and know her story. And this is not a story where you can pick it up and read right away. You must take the time to wait for each chapter as it comes and be there. Being there is the only way.

Theatre has taken my heart and so has Dr. Pepper, but mostly theatre. I'm a cute brunette, I guess. And now a word from Mr. Disney himself, "Why worry? If you've done the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better."
