Most Likely to Keep to Herself

I made friends with my shadow. She's my little dark side. I'll find her lingering behind or ahead of me and can never quite tell what she's up to, not clearly anyway. She'll pop up when I least expect it but she's usually close-by. I guess that's why I was so surprised to find her untethered from my footing, all the way across the room the other night. Once you realize your shadow has a mind of its own, you hope that she's got something exciting in store for you. I stood there staring, wondering if she was about to lead me to a secret door or the never neverland I never thought I'd know. I've always wanted to be Wendy waiting by the window, but I grew up way too fast. Now I'm too worried about becoming a Karen and it's hard enough to make actual friends as an adult so I'll have to settle for my other half. I keep my eyes on her to see what she'll do next but I fear she's up to something sinister. Eventually I'll have to decide if I should follow her or lead, but for now it seems that I'm  I'm too curious to keep to myself.
