Everyone is trying to get to themselves,
trying to get to the bare bones of who they are,
what they stand for,
where they draw the line.
๐จ
The thing is - you only get there by living
-- by screaming, laughing, crying, shaking, by letting go, one finger at a time.
You get there by loving someone so much it makes you inexplicably cruel,
by hurting a friend, a family, or a lover
and only knowing the pain you caused them when the same is done to you.
๐ท
You come home to yourself when you have a thing or two to tell your past,
when you see with crystal quality the parts of yourself you need to keep or discard.
๐ฆ
You see the multitude of paths you could have taken,
the things you could have seen.
And you close your eyes, relieved and grateful that you ended up as YOU - out of all the people you could have been.
Thank you S'tralia for having me and for taking me in.

Always was. Always will be.
