a quest {self portrait challenge}

A bow 1982

I am on woman on a quest...
and I am seeking this little girl
who danced
and posed in front of the camera
without a care in the world
she didn't worry about
appearances,
the size of her thighs,
her mismatched barrettes,
letting people down,
not being enough,
not living a full, big, deep life.
She dreamed
huge, fun, crazy dreams.
And believed that she
could do anything she put set her mind and heart to do.
Anything.

And as I search for her
I am beginning to realize
she has been living in me all along.
She is already home.
