Places I'll always be

[tamara_russo]

I'll always be at Tower Records in front of the A's shelf, picking up "Little Earthquakes". Some part of me will always be there, right before this revolution in my life.

I'll always be that girl that so many people made fun of. Doesn't matter how I feel now, who I am now, how much stronger or different, I'll always be there, in that class with these words by those people I'll never forgive.

Some part of me will always be the young sister who wanted to be all that her sister is. Even though it's been years since then and now I am my own person - looking at my sister and doing exactly what she did will always be a part of who I am.

I will always be who I was right before the war, I will always be at Nurit's old house, walking up and down the stairs with all these new people I loved right from the start.

And I'll always be at these days, when everything fell apart.

I'll always be that girl, even though these times have long since passed.

Life. Funny thing that, eh?

Indeed. I keep thinking that my dad, for example, will always have some piece of him still in the Yom Kipur war, and that's what got me thinking. Hmm.

It's kind of like that saying - "life's not about how many breaths you took, but the moments that took your breath away". But only kind of. In other times it's a slow and steady current that after years of work, shapes you into something completely different.

Hey, glad to have you in my life :)
