This is hard. I, like a lot of people, have trouble seeing myself as I am. I mean, yeah, you see the the you in the bathroom mirror. But you also see the you that no one else really sees and it's not always a pretty picture.
So it's hard for me to see myself the way that I am. I see where I've been in nearly perfect clarity and I can kind of see where I am right now although it feels kind of blurry around the edges. But that's the nature of being human, I suppose.
In the end, I chose "Hands" by Jewel.

The reason I chose this one is because it's so true. My hands are small: I'm a twenty year old college student; I have no idea what, or if, I even make an impact along the way. But they are mine and basically mine alone. I make choices and I hold by those. I try to reach out, I try to help out, and I try to live the kind of life that is worthy of being a Christian. (As Jewel sings in her song, we are all God's eyes, hands, etc.)
Plus, I feel like I've proven that I'm not broken. At least, not easily. I feel like no one can hurt me because I know I'll bounce back with God's help and my own determination.
So if any song has to represent me, it has to be "Hands".
(And at any rate, it's a great song. Jewel is an amazing writer and musician.)
