the answer to life's big question

Who am I?


To my parents, I am their always scheming irresponsible daughter. To my roommates I am the one who won’t shut up and the one who always sets off the smoke detector.
To the young women I grew up with, I was the ambitious leader that always wanted to have fun. To the deaf lady in my home ward I was an answer to many prayers.
To my co-workers, I am the loud boy-crazy supervisor. To my boss, I am the one who has an opinion who voices it boldly.
To my sisters I am competition for the largest shoe collection and to my brothers I am the tickle monster.
To my friends in high school I am the over devout Christian. To other students in the Harold B. Lee library I am only friendly competition.

To the boys written in my journal I am a heart breaker or the one that held on too long. To the men of my future I am merely a mystery.
To strangers as they walk past me I am just another young adult, I am the girl they will never miss because they never knew me.


To the stars, I am an insignificant nobody staring up at them. To my God I am a heir to a throne.

I am Clarissa Oliphant; I am all these people.

But to everyone I am only a part, a fraction of me. 
Only to my Savior I am a whole. Only he knows me perfectly.
