Over 20 years old now....

All of my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being the person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly

- from "I'm Gonna Fly" by Amy Grant, 1981

The first time I heard this song I was surprised. A song about self-acceptance and self-discovery is fine, but I wasn't expecting it on a Christian album. The lyrics seems a bit childish. Yet, over time it became the song I'd dig that old tape out to listen to.

And every once in a while I find I still need to stop hiding and be me.

dinner and a movie...

"Saved!" was fun. I actually liked Macaulay Culkin's character. And for once a cool movie prom ;) ( a few quotes, so, spoiler warning )

The beginning, in particular, sent dianthus and I reminiscing about our fundie days. I think we scared jw1776.
