Again, I find myself in this position. In dire need to catch up on things to do for school (a.k.a. study for my Socio & Anthro midterms at 7:30 am tomorrow), but instead dawdling around like it’s no one’s business. 

So I came across this, a name that somehow got buried underneath the clutter of my ask box. And I swear that after this, I will get to the things that I have to do. But this is just as important (to me, at least), remembering is important.

Picture this: A bunch of 4th graders, around 9 or 10 years old. Skipping about, celebrating a birthday. There are little amusement park rides which, of course, you ride in two’s. Of the bunch, two girls in particular, the most odd of pairs. One is skinny, quiet, the type it’d take great difficulty to get a word out of. The other is rather round, loud, the type you’d have great difficulty ever getting to shut up. The first is her, the latter I. 

I went up to that skinny little girl, introduced myself, and she hasn’t been able to shake me off since

Picture the last 9 years or so, that’s nearing a decade, practically half of what has been my life. Can you imagine all the things that have happened in that span of time? Picture the next god-knows-how-many years. Imagine what can, what will happen. 

And this: Her? A constant.
