My friends have changed.
My fears have changed.
My dreams have changed.
My love has changed.
My hate has changed.
I have changed.
Brittany.
This one name, this non-unique label for myself, used to be what defined me.
I limited myself to being Brittany, only Brittany, always Brittany.
Brittany was just a girl.
Brittany was afraid of the dark.
Brittany loved to smile.
Brittany sought out adventure.
Brittany changed location.
Brittany hated new people.
Brittany hated her family.
Brittany hated to smile.
Brittany hated herself.
Brittany changed her perspective.
Brittany went after more.
Brittany fell in love.
Brittany created adventures.
Brittany laughed and smiled.
Brittany grew and shone.
Brittany never once called herself just a girl. Brittany never once called herself by name. Rather, she saw herself as someone who stood for seizing opportunity, loving life, and feeling free from burdens.
Brittany decided names meant nothing, and so do people unless they do something to change it.
I don't need an awesome pen name because I am not defined by my title.
