To dress and act
kindly
to myself.
To punch any classmate messing with my pretty princess vibes and still turn my artwork in on time.
To confidently color outside the lines.
To be one of a kind and create a YOU-niverse that is mine.
To know God grades my paper not any fallen teacher existing in nature.
To not crave the validation of the icky gold sticker saying
“Way To Go You Did It”!
To own the moment I scribbled my name in large glittery pink as it signified a girl that can think with a wink.

w/Glitter & Grit,
