All my life I’ve been searching for my own gem, my personal holy grail, if you like. ... All I know is that upon finding this gem, my life will be complete, and though it may still have its bumps and uncomfortable twists, it will be brighter, happier, and a lot more colourful.
This gem may be a certain phrase, like “all good comes to those who waits” (except I know it’s not that one, cos it never really did anything for me. I’ve been waiting all my life, and still nothing has happened… Also, it’s really hard to sit completely still and wait… I’d better go find something to do, cos this waiting is killing me! ... Maybe it’s a soon-to-be best friend who shows me that the meaning of life really is to treasure a moment. ... You never know…
My gem could be my own feeling of self-worth. ... And after watching several x-rays of myself – finding that I’m not pregnant, have cancer or any other general weirdness growing inside me – the huge feeling of self-worth will probably still be invisible.
