Alena said 10 years, 5 months ago:

I am Alena.
I am a girl.
And I am? That’s what I think most of my life has been, trying to put into words what or who or how I am, when the only word that does those attempts justice is, “Me.”
I am dating a wonderful guy.
I am scared about college.
I am paranoid, and fearful, and un-confident.
I am a leader, though, and strong of will, and brimming with a type of confidence that radiates from that strength.
I am conflicted with myself.
I internalize this until I break down every once in a while.
I am ugly, and beautiful, and sexual– no prefix, there.
I am Alena.
and I just… am?
