Choosing Someone's Life for Them is not a Life.

I have a life, but I have not lived. I have a heart and a brain. But I have not loved. I have not thought. I have feet. But I still await the day I take my first steps. I have lungs but I do not know what a breath of fresh air tastes like. I have eyes, and they are blue. They long to see the face of my mother and my father. I want to be. I want to be more. I have potential to be great. But it is up to you to let me be. Let me grow and become. Don’t give up on me.
