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.

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.
🕷
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.
🦈
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.
