It's Okay

Slightly more upbeat? Thanks for being really great, blog readers. I'll post when I get back from the conference. :)


Letter to Self.
March 9, 2008

Dear Jennifer,

It's okay that you don't have a boyfriend. Really. It's okay that you don't have perfect skin or a perfect body. It's okay that you don't have the perfect job. It's also okay that you're not a pro at Chemistry and yes, that you are the only senior in the class. It's okay that you like to do things to shock people. It's okay, even necessary, to buy yourself gifts every now and then for no reason. It's okay to feel proud of your creativity.

It's okay to feel jealous when your friends choose others over you. It's okay to be worried about college. And marriage. It's okay, sometimes, to walk forward into the dark without a definite plan. It's okay to take chances. And it is even okay to be alone, to feel alone. It is okay to ask questions, my friend. That is how you'll get the answers.

Love, Me.
