I want to be like Lucy: valiant, a friend of the trees, and completely in love with the Lion.

for my bg friends.
you must be a special person
to chomp down on an onion
like it’s a piece of fruit.
to pull off every single color in your hair.
to be the most fashionable person I know and
not pressure me at all about it, not even by accident,
to soften my cynical heart every time you give me a hug,
to be as generous as you,
not just with things but also with time,
to be vulnerable and trust I won’t
betray your heart.
to share my enthusiasm for the way children play,
to never betray your mother’s home cooking.
to have so much
through so much pain
(don't know why this formatted funny...)

When your heart starts to internalize.
When you make up your mind to please only One,
you can wear navy blue with black. You can sit down where ever you like. You can stop in the middle of the sidewalk and watch the sky for awhile. You can stand in one place and eat your apple, or stand in one place just to stand there. You can spin when the urge strikes you, and giggle at the wind. You can snort and cry when you laugh, if you like. You can take your time in the sandwich line and at airport security. You can drink tap water and reuse plastic bottles too many times. You can smile at random strangers (but if you're a girl, only when you're in America). You can admit that you like the morning. You can be genuinely friendly to everyone, everywhere.
You don't have to be afraid of what people think of how you dance. Of how your hair looks or if your shoes go with your pants. You don't have to be ashamed of eating dinner alone or in silence.
You needn't be annoyed when it rains or someone jostles you in line, when your paper or poem isn't good enough, or when you screw up a question, or when people ask you questions you just can't answer- whether it be because you don't know the answer or the person well enough.
You needn't be discouraged about having too much homework or worry about how you're gonna do all that and sleep too.
When you make up your mind to please only One, the little things start to change. And it's the little things that change your life the most. I think. At least for now. :)
girl?
a "harmless" facebook note.
[] You own over 10 bottles of nail polish
[] You own a designer purse
[] You own perfume that cost over $60
[] You had/have fake nails
[] You have more body lotions/hair products than you use
[] Your pet is a chihuahua/Pomeranian/Yorkshire Terrier/Siamese/Shih Tzu/dachshund
[] You have clothes/shoes/accessories for your pet
[] You have enough clothes to cover an entire refugee camp.
[] You have enough pictures to create your own wallpaper.
Your pet is a small dog? Really?
So in order to be a real girl you must be very materialistic. The only one of these that fits me is having more hair products than I use. And right now that is because I have some back up shampoo in my room.

Repost as I am __% Girl
Is THIS what our culture finds feminine? Obviously, this note has no idea what being a girl is. Harmless, of course, but what about when we start believing it's all harmless, darlin?
