it's all a part of me, that's who i am.

In social psychology we've been talking about how we view ourselves, who do we think we are? and how this is influenced by the people around us. So here it is, a list of who I am:
I am a woman. A young woman. I think this defines a big part of me.
I am a student: academic, with a desire to learn, a desire to understand.
I am a daughter, a granddaughter, a cousin and a niece. these all define a piece of me.
I am a girlfriend, with a great guy :)
I am sometimes the life of the party,
I can be the quiet one who is thinking, and sometimes I'm opinionated,
I am a perfectionist,
I am a worrier.
I am sensitive.
I am a minister's daughter, but I don't feel it should define other's view of me,
I am a person with faith in God, or at least I try to keep my faith.
I am a dreamer,
and I am a hopeless romantic.

I will add to this later..

until then, i'll just keep moving..

why is it in life that the one person that was never supposed to let you down, always does? the one person that was always supposed to be there, ALWAYS. and it seems like it's so much easier for them to move on. do they really find it that easy to forget? I hold onto memories with a death grip, but why do other people always seem so content to let them go? am i really that easy to dismiss, or am i just more sentimental than everyone else? am I the abnormal one? and will i ever find someone that will truly always be there? outside of my family that is. I think in the end, all you have is family (and perhaps whoever you choose to be your family, your husband and your children, if you have children). or maybe in the end we really are alone..which scares me. they say it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all..but sometimes I'm just not so sure.
i feel like i'm the one that's ALWAYS there for people..and it's so easy for people to take that person for granted. like they think any time they want to turn around and come back i'll still be here waiting. well..it may not be true.
"what am i supposed to do, when the best part of me was always you.."
