Well… this wasn’t too bad. I don’t hurt, I’m not crying… So I think I am going to be ok.
When the man of my dreams broke up with me, it wasn’t that bad. I cried for a couple hours… but that was it. There was no after shock past that. This sounds crazy but…
I feel beautiful.
I don’t feel worthless like I did a year ago… I feel so beautiful.
I feel free. I mean… I miss him, but I’m not going to sit there and wait for him if he doesn’t love me. If he lost all feelings for me within one night, then I can do the same thing. I only love people who love me.
I don’t feel like I should be compared to anyone else anymore… I’m me! I am Samantha. The girl with dark hair and deep brown eyes. The girl with the light birthmark on her stomach, stubborn mind, and loving heart. The girl who dares to do anything, the girl who’s favorite animal is snakes, the girl who has a very bad temper. I am Samantha… the girl, who wanted to be an astronaut in the 4th grade, wanted to be a medieval princess (and still does to this day), and did yoga and meditation when she was 10. The same girl who’s favorite color is yellow, loves to dance in the rain, and is afraid of the dark. I am me…
Don’t conform to what you want someone else to think you are. Be yourself… I guess that has been my biggest mistake so far…
You have never seen the real me, but be prepared… she’s back. And she is out there seeking revenge on the person who made her conform into someone she’s not… Just kidding! I am tired of being known as “Alex’s girlfriend”, and “that girl” (By my own classmates!)… I have a name, and it’s Samantha.
And I have now learned that I have no one to trust but me, myself, and I. Because it seems that everyone else just lies and uses me. So be prepared guys, I’m not coming into the new year as the same old “Sam” that everyone thinks they know.
Well, I finally decided to drop my old favorite song “Fight the Tides” with this… “I Need a Hero”
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘till the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
Lager than life
Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Aaahhh
Aaahhh
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There’s someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘till the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there’s someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘till the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘till the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
I love it!
I know he is out there. I don’t know who or where he is, maybe it is Alex… and he just needed time to organize himself… who knows… I don’t.
Well, I need a hero… but I’m not going to hide behind him in his shadows waiting for him to protect me. I am going to be right next to him, holding his hand, and we will fight our fights together. And we will be able to get over any obstacle that we face…
Love forgives…
Yours truly,
~Sam
