who are you to do this,
to be this to stand there with a head full of thoughts and not reduce them to static but to speak them into existence where they are inconvenient for absolutely everybody I am who I am And who I am is enough. sometimes it's important to re-examine why, exactly, you've been chasing the things you've been searching for - Atlas Life is a strange puzzle
though I have received this piece before I did not know where to put it, yet now it slides neatly into place. sometimes you hear things before you're ready for them, and only much later do you go back and see the wisdom - Atlas I was so caught up
in all the things I wished I was I forgot to notice who I am and the skills I have that would carry me through the lacking. it doesn't necessarily make things easier but it might make them more feasible - Atlas and no matter what disappointments may come my way
I hope that at the end of each day I can still come home to myself and say that I am worthwhile that the effort I put into learning was not wasted that despite everything I was brave. you are no longer there to believe in me, but your memory gives me courage - Atlas there are days when it seems I only ever knew you
though the things you loved, the shining eyes of your sons and daughters as they regale me with stories I never got to witness, the photographs you treasured, a thousand tiny mementos left forever unexplained. but I am also something you loved, I also got to meet you and I hope you know how honored I am to be a part of that legacy. in remembrance - Atlas I wonder what it would take
to build a life that I never felt like I had to run away from a goal worth striving towards? - Atlas I do not want to be the kind of person
who uses herself until she breaks but there is so much to do, and see, and bear witness to. it's late - Atlas I am still that girl
digging holes in the sand trying to coax a flame from spent matches and seaweed before it can be snatched by the wind. that's what it feels like sometimes when I try to do everything I want to do (maybe it's just about easing into it?) - Atlas my mind is always
running away lately. I am not sure if I am running from the world or myself. but either way the end result is the same - Atlas |
