“The Present”

Katy Gottlieb, Editor • June 12, 2023

I am that girl

The one who has known what she has wanted to be when she grows up since the beginning of time. Forever one could say

A pediatrician to help the kids, to save lives, to brighten their days

I am that girl

The one who has a Pinterest board for her wedding, house, and even children

Farmhouse décor, mermaid-style sparkly gown, and denim overalls

I am that girl

The one who has a list of baby names in the notes app on her phone

Charlotte

Josie

Ellie

Drew

Carter

Elliot

The possible names for the twins I want to have

At just 16 years old currently,

I have almost my whole life mapped out

But I have been told I need to live in the present

Since the present, just like its entitled is a gift,

One day though

The future will come

But I’ve got time to plan
