You don’t get it. You think you’ll finally be perfect when your legs look like twigs, when your bones stick out, when you get rid of that pinch of belly fat. But that’s not what most guys want. That’s what the media wants you to think guys want. And they are so very wrong.

Graduation is coming faster and faster, and I really just want time to slow down so I can stop stressing out and enjoy what time I have left.
I don’t want to go off to school and forget people or be forgotten. I just want to live this year for as long as I can. And lie in this bed and listen to the rain for a hundred more nights.

Have you ever watched your chest rise and fall with each breath?
Watched your chest hollow out.
And then hollow in.

Messy handwriting and thoughts that no one cares to know about.

I like noticing things about people that no one else probably does. Small things, ya know? How they look when they’re gathering information, the way they inspect their fingers or bit their lips. The unknown human actions. The rawness of a human being is breathtaking. I find it beautiful.
Hi.
I’m Natalie Butler.
I’m a free human being. I’m independent. And I’m young.
Life is what I make out of it, and right now it’s pretty good. I’m just a single soul in this place of many, just like everyone else I am unique. I do my own things while out there, people do theirs.
I’m a photographer, an extremely amateur one at that. Click click, goes the shutter of my camera. There’s never enough memory space to capture the beauty that’s out there.
I’m a writer, a writer with no motivation except for the thoughts in her head. I let the words flow out of me like I’m spilling a secret. Sometimes I am.
I’m a reader, a bookworm, if you may. I’ve got my nose in a different book every other week.
Hi.
I’m Natalie Butler.
I’m a student, I’m a teacher. I learn how to act, how to add numbers, how to be a friend.
I’m a free bird, I go my own ways and find my own solutions. I’m who I want to be.
I’m a daughter, I’m a sister. I’m a family member to four, five if you include my dog. We take rides on the ups and downs of life together, as a family unit.
I’m a dreamer, I dream of what I want to be. I dream of who I am. And I dream of who I will be. The future is the place for me, and that’s where my dreams are sent.
Hi.
I’m Natalie Butler.
I’m a fighter, someone who fights for what’s right. Someone who stands tall and says, “This is what I believe in. This is where I stand.”
I’m a lover, I love being around people. Without people, I would be no one.
I’m a listener, and a story teller. I listen to stories and I tell stories.
I’m a teenager, I ride the ups and downs of a roller coaster everyday. Each ‘roller coaster’ is just as exciting as the last.
Hi.
I’m Natalie Butler.
I am a little lady.
I am sixteen going on seventeen.
I am all of these things, and so much more.
I am seventeen going on eighteen.

I am awake and I should be sleeping.
Typical.

Remember:
It is better to feel alone than to be miserable while in a relationship.
But to be miserable in the arms of someone who loves you is something to be cherished.
