A To-Do List for Those Who Haven't "Always Known"

When you pull on double dutch pigtails and compare yourself to girls with three letter names and power rangers on their lunch boxes, think nothing of it. 
Learn to sing, preferably not about God. 
Dog-sit for your mom, ask for approval as payment. 
Take the $20 she gives you. 
Picture you are the girl in your go-to karaoke love song. 
Eat cookie dough ice cream on your bed and know you are alive. 
Forget yourself. 
Wonder if change is good. 
Forgive your brother. 
Call your reflection a different name. 
Remember yourself again. 
Consider yourself a divine intervention. 
Love someone. 
Read the Bible not because you have to, but because you want to. 
Put it down after eight pages.
