Blink

Hi. My name is Molly. I live here:

I get to do amazing things like this:
But sometimes, amazing isn't enough. And I find myself wanting this:
And this...
Most of all, I want this--
But when we live our lives yearning for other things, we forget to appreciate what we have right in front of us.

For most of this year I've been expecting something else. That something else has escaped my grasp, like sand slipping through my fingertips. So it's time for me to turn my face to the sun, breathe in deep the air of the sea, and live with reckless abandon. Before this slips away too.
