incontrovertible: (in that case I'm taking over)

I always wanted to be. When I thought about it, what I could picture, what I wanted was to be one of those ... Mystic Falls moms, the ones that had it together.

( For a long, long time she wanted to be Elena's. She wanted Elena's family. They were all so close and so involved. And together. Sure, there were lies and a covered up adoption and some vampire prejudice in there, too. But, she had her mom. And her crumbling marriage and her absent, gay dad. )

Somehow, I also wanted to take the world by storm. Like, be a Diane Sawyer. But, hotter. ( And yeah, maybe make it big in the world and them come back to have a family. ) You know, I was actually a reporter in Dallas. I produced, first. I thought if I was going to compel myself into a job, I might as well do it in the right order. But, I had my eye on being on-air talent.

( And then Stefan Salvatore. And Reina. And ...Mystic Falls all over again. )

But, I wouldn't change any of it. I wouldn't change a truly harrowing, traumatic birth experience. If I changed any of it, then maybe I wouldn't have them or I wouldn't be here for them.
