"Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else."
"we often put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares to get through"
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”

Emily
It means industrious, energetic, and giggly.
It is 21.
It is like the skin of a grape.
It is the trip back to Ohio. I swam with my sister for hours.
It is my mother.
She taught me to be strong, happy and she taught me to find the good that is hidden in the bad,
when she opened up to me and became my mother for the first time.
Don't dwell on the past or you will get stuck there like gum in hair.

The author's comments:
For English class I had to write a poem based on my name. The first line is my first name followed by what it means and two words that describe me, then my favorite number, my favorite color described without saying the color, A memory, an important person in my life or a person who used to be, and lastly an important thing to remember about life.
