AN: This is based off of Kristen Chenoweth's I Was Here. No this is not an update on either of my multi- chapters, but A Father and a Home should be updated soon. This particular chapter is the first entry into her journal time wise and occurs before she defies gravity. This takes place on the train to the Emerald City. Posts will not be in order by date.

As always, enjoy!

Oh my Oz! I am so excited right now! Glinda; in her blissful bubble-headed state wouldn't even be able to believe I was capable of this level of excitement if she could see what I was writing. Thankfully, she is asleep right now, allowing me the privacy of writing in here. I honestly have no idea what the Wizard sees in me, but apparently my curse is actually a gift! And I even got the attention of my idol! I will finally be able to make my mark on history, perhaps, metaphorically similar to the airheads at Shiz that carve the initials of themselves and their latest beau on the Quoxwood trees by the Suicide Canal.

Everyone will have to wait and see what comes of this, but I feel so good regarding all of this, it just feels right, for once. Maybe I will finally be able to do some good. Maybe I can write legislation that changes the course of history and maybe…per chance…change Oz as we know it. Maybe someday the artists of Oz will paint portraits in honor of me and all the good I am going to do for my home. Maybe I can help provide funding to help cure sickness, I don't know! It's so hard to wrap my mind around all the good I can do alongside the Wizard. But I am ready to begin, because all my life, all I have ever wanted was to do something good that would change history!

I seriously am acting like a giddy school girl, but I can't help it, I am so incredibly happy right now! I want to do something that matters long after I am gone. For once, I want to be different. I want to turn Oz and its citizens on its ear and do something better than I have ever done! I only have limited time here. I am not arrogant enough to think I will live forever.

I want to change hearts while I have the chance, and leave something behind, however small, that says I was here. I will prove to all those idiots in my life that said I will never amount to anything. They say I am all talk and no action well this is my chance to change that!

My dream is too strong to let go of, and before long I will be doing what I am meant to do! I will fight for peace, among other plans. I am on my way to my destiny and I could not be happier than I am in the knowledge that I am going to do something good…no, something great.

Glinda is waking up, so I leave you now in the knowledge that I will be leaving behind something of myself that says I was here.
