Hilary Duff Sings Songs About This

Surprisingly, this move back—from Oklahoma to Chicago to Oklahoma once again—is letting me examine myself in a way I never have, a way I never thought possible. Before this past month, I thought I knew who I was, I thought I knew myself; but, then again I was the one who said “I’m my own best friend, and even I don’t know myself that well”. Maybe I thought I never could, that that level of personal understanding was the work of fiction, some fantasy created in the head of a writer more confused than I was. But after some time seeing how things can change, how quickly life can bounce from Rock Bottom to High-as-the-Sky and back to Rock Bottom again, I am starting to see parts of my personality and my abilities that where hidden under a mask of disbelief. I am starting to uncover colors I never realize where visible to the human eye. It’s strange, how standing in the downpour of humility and redemption can shed away the black and white, can shed away the familiarity, can bring to light dark and scary places and transform them into something bright, something shiny.
