I am Rose and this is my soapbox

It's not what it seems in the land of dreams

Why do I always talk before I think, run before I walk, fall before I look?

I guess I'll never know.

Surfed out brain waves flick back and forth.

The other day my mum woke me up early in the morning to ask me if I wanted anything from the supermarket. I have no idea what I told her, all I know is that she came back with a bunch of nice things to eat that I don't even know if I told her to buy for me. That afternoon I saw a documentary about this 6 year old little girl who had had the right hemisphere of her brain pulled out of her head because she had something like epilepsy or something of that kind. Because of that she couldn't control the left side of her body and you could tell how big the effort she made to move her left hand was and still her hand wouldn't move.
So I compared both situations, mine and hers, and my conclusion was: the human brain doesn't make any sense. How come sometimes it makes us do things that we don't want to do/even know we're doing and in other cases it won't let us do what we want and what we're telling it to do?

Maybe I just think too much.

I know I never do what you tell me to do, I know I never listen to you, I know I'm lazy, I know I don't help much, I know I drive you crazy and make you mad... but you're the best person on this planet and even though I feel embarrased most of the times, you have no idea how good I feel when I share everything with you.
I'd be lost without you.
I love you, mum.

I'm having the time of my life and I'm not going to let you make it rain on my parade.
