Mind Made Up

I want to be independent but live close to home and I want to travel the world but am to afraid. I have a dream but despite what others tell me I know it will never come true. I know the world is filled with ugly people but despite what people say I would not consider myself one of them. And when I say ugly I mean everything but the physicality of us. I was told in elementary to never start a sentence with "and" but what they taught me then was that the content of the story didn't matter unless properly paired with correct spelling and grammar. Well let me tell you, beginning your sentence with "and" allows you to expand on your thoughts. And isn't that beautiful. And if someone were to judge me on the content of my life they would see all the grammatical imperfections and that would be just fine with me. I want people to see me and all my imperfections.
