It's me

It’s Addy 


I am ladylike, lawful, liable, likable, lively, limitless, and loaded. I am a leader and a listener. 

These aren’t easy, and for anyone. They make you walk a long, not straight, tempting road. Some people say that leaders are born and others say they are made. I think they just are. One may show leadership at the age of 2, and one may show leadership at 72. Leader should not be its own title, for each person can encounter leadership. One may have a year's time of leadership while one has mirelly a minute. Each of these periods as important as the other. Listening, means putting yourself lower. One can not listen if they put in no effort. Why? Because our bodies were created to put ourselves first. We protect ourselves and if we become vulnerable, then we could be weak. Leaders learn to accept this stage because it opens up others to follow. 


I could even be a lover. I am patient. I am kind. I do not envy or boast. I am not arrogant or rude. I do not insist on my way. I am not irritable or resentful. I do not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoice with the truth. Love is strange. We have one word for affection that means as many things as desired. We love our family. We love our phone. Same word, but mean different messages. I think the word love is too vague. 


I think I am more alike to others than I know. I am like my mother, like my father, like Mr. Witte, like my grandma, and like my sister. We all see good qualities, and are able to develop with them. 


I am straight up and soft spoken. I have a balanced contrast. I am critical, but do not let the mammoth override. Everything in my life does not need to always sound or even look perfect. Art never looks perfect to one. Music always sounds effortless to one. I wish I could put my sister's letter on here, but it is too long. But I shouldn’t have to worry about time. We have all the time in the world.
