"And miles to go before I sleep"

This all-too-familiar phrase. Robert Frost would have never expected that someone could exploit this phrase from his poem, "Walking through the woods on a snowy evening".

I admit it, for some people who have never heard of his work (particularly this one) but do know me will associate this phrase with me immediately when they hear it. A major part of it has to do with the fact that I have this phrase tattooed on my right thigh.

My reason? Well, life has paved some unexpected curves for me to travel on and I bend through these curves, not knowing what to expect. I am always alarmed by the new circumstances that I stumble through each day. I meet potential lovers like a test that I never seem to pass...it never gets old and yes, I never learn. Except for those fields where I have to play my role as a supportive daughter. I have been practicing that role since I was 8. I know that role like it was programed in me. Despite having one more sister, that role is the only role I play all too well. But the rest? My role as a friend? As a lover? As a collegue or a familiar person you cross paths with everyday...well that will change. It will keep changing.

I know I still have a lot to learn. Everything keeps changing and so am I. I have a lot more changes to make and I know that things won't always be the way they are now. So yes, I still have miles to go before I sleep.
