Sometimes we want it to work so bad that we stay too long
Waiting for things to change
For people to grow into who we want them to be
And in the process we wound up loosing patience
And loosing ourselves
When they ask me how I spent most of my twenties here’s what I’ll say:
I spent it finding myself
Like truly
Deeply
Like right down to my very core
My deepest convictions
My wildest fears
A yearning to grow closer to God
Falling so deeply in love
Trying to love again
A wanting to be loved and to love
someone
with everyone ounce of me
I spent it traveling the world
Experiencing new cultures
Hearing new sounds
Tasting exotic foods
Fumbling across unspoken words
Staring at the moon
I spent it listening to children’s laughter
Making fun of myself
Writing poetry
Feasting from my own garden
And learning to write my own story
You see as the days go by and the night’s grow longer I take the time to reflect on ME. To check in with myself every step of the way. To be present; like actually in the now. It’s important to me because it’s all apart of my journey.
