Lost Girl; Responds to "Emma"

Who am I anymore?

I have photos hanging all over my walls. One with my best friends in eighth grade and two with them in ninth grade, one with ensemble members, one with cast members, one with my sister, and many of my snapshots from Costa Rica. I specifically chose each photo to represent some part of me, so if any time I could not remember that beautiful part of me, I would be reminded. 

I don't know the girl in these photos.

In one photo, she is smiling coyly and forming a typical peace sign with her left hand. She looks happy, content, and calm. In another photo she is jokingly flexing her muscles and baring her teeth at the camera. She has a sense of humor, and above all, a sense of the whimsicality in life. In another, perhaps the most striking, she is grinning hugely, slightly leaning back as if in laughter with her arm around two friends. What was making her so damn radiant?

I ask because this girl has been lost with that "spark," whatever the hell it was.
