It never occurred to me that I am a full circle.

Not a half circle, not a quarter of a circle, not an oval, but a full 360 degree circle.

And it’s crazy to think that strangers walking beside me don’t know that they’re a full circle.

AP U.S. History was quite a course with a teacher that could scare the crap out of you, harass you but pick you up when you were down.

He didn’t just teach me that Abraham Lincoln never freed the slaves,

Or that the U.S. purposely took land away from Mexico,

Or that Nixon was the worst president of all time.

He taught me that I AM a full circle no matter what happens,

No matter what obstacle gets thrown my way,

Whether the person I love just left me,

Or I got rejected from the school of my dreams,

That NOTHING should take anything away from me.

And nothing ever has since this lesson.
