Thoughts at 5AM

 
 
"I'm stuck."
  
	"Ooh! To my floor?"
  
"No, sir."
	"Then what?"

"Like as a person...
You remember
when I was a little girl,
and I could play Rachmaninoff's
2nd Piano Concerto
and everyone was talking
about my potential?"
  
	"Mm-hmm."

"Well, I am 23 now,
and everyone's still talking
about my potential,
but if you ask me to play
the song I know best...

I'll still play Rachmaninoff's 2nd."

- a scene from Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Why does this speak so close to my heart? Its difficult being this age in life. I’ll just have to constantly remind myself: Everything is going to be okay.
