Time To Shine

Everyone shines.

Some shine brighter than others. And all at different times.

These past couple months I have realized that right now is not my time to shine.

I am not the most popular girl in schoool.

I am not noticed by the cute boy that I like.

I am not a 4.0 student.

I am not the star athlete.

I am not the most valued employee at work.

But. I am something.

I am a friend.

I am a sister.

I am a daughter of God.

I am a mermaid (or at least I like to think I am).

I am myself. And even though a lot of people might not notice my light right now..

It's okay.

I'll keep shining.

Because right now, while I'm in high school is such a sweetly short time compared to my whole life.

I will have a time to shine.

Perhaps once I have graduated and gone off to college.

Perhaps once I am married and have a few kids.

You too will have your time to shine, and one day someone will appreciate you and all you do.

All your days that you have ever felt lonely or un-loved won't matter.

All the days that you felt like nobody appreciated your light will fade away with the shadows and you will have your time to shine.

XOXOXOXO
