What makes me, me? ~ a last minute contest entry

Hola world, today I am entering miss Rosie's "What makes you, YOU" contest, way past the very last second, so lets skip the chit-chat and get to it.

Who am I? I shall attempt to explain.

I am a girl who loves life, who loves herself (mostly), & loves others, but loves God most.

I laugh too loud, spend too much time making things "perfect", & I'm easily obsessed.

I find myself in love with fictional characters, & can't go anywhere without a book.

I have been called the "Queen of Shipping" by many, & it's fitting.

I'm in love with Disney, & I'm a little kid at heart.

I have many online friends who I love to the moon & back.

I'm awkward, & I laugh it off.

I'm not ashamed of being me.

I see beauty in everything.

I believe I was created for a greater purpose, & for such a time as this.

I am a girl, who desperately wants to change the world.

My heart sings when I'm serving others

I want to be somebody someone else looks up to.

The word "mzungu" makes my heart ache, but at the same time brings happy tears.

A day doesn't go by that I don't wish I was somewhere else.

Wanderlust doesn't even begin to cover it.

I get uncomfortable when I spend too much time in the United States.

I daydream about hearing the words "Nkwagala Nyo!" {I love you so much}

***

I'm a wannabe writer, not-quite-photographer, partially artsy, I read all day, when I'm not lost in thought,

I'm scatter-brained & this post shows it,

but one thing about me stays the same, every day, every hour, every minute, every second,

Uganda is consistent, attached to my heart as I am attached to it, the red dirt has found it's way into my heart, & it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Uganda is who I am, makes me, me. & I should've known this was how this post would turn out.

Don't be surprised when in a few years, you find me on the other side of the world, finally living where I belong, & with a huge smile on my face.

xoxo

Molly

p.s. if you've ever wanted an accurate depiction of my brain, this post is it, scattered & messy, & that's ME.
