who am i?!

I don't know. Maybe I'm:

a) The punk girl I think I am when I listen to Paramore and wear my vans and headbang.

b) The hipster I think I am when I wear vintage-influence/real-vintage clothing and listen to cool music nobody has ever heard of because people all listen to over-auto-tune crap.

c) The beach girl I think I am when I swim for hours on end, listen to Jack Johnson and when my hair is all sun-kissd and wavy.

d) The dancer I think I am when I walk into hip-hop class with my ballet clothes underneath.

e) The aspiring-activist I think I am when I plan my trip to Africa with the IVHQ that I am planning to go on after high-school.

f) The sporty-girl I think I am when I wear LuLuLemon pants and Adidas and follow my Seventeen magazine 6-week exercise plan.

d) The hippie-at-heart I think I am when I listen to Phish and Strawberry Alarm Clock and brainstorm ideas about how to become a better person.

I'm not one of these. I am every single one of these and more, all combined into one. One person, one mind, one heart. There are things I don't like about myself. That can't really be prevented. Just because I don't like everything about myself doesn't mean I am not extremely proud to be who I am. I think I am what my one-and-only-best-friend Mina K. would say you-nique. Everyone is. Love yourself. Love everything even though there will be things you don't like about yourself. There are WAY more things that you like than you hate. You may not realize it but it's true. This might, no, WILL, sound cheezy but your body is a temple, so treat it like one, with respect. L<3VE YOURSELF.

Kelli.
